"They have been on the training ground.

"We will hopefully have one or two of them back, but we will have to see at the end of today. Today is an important preparation day for us.

"There were a couple of knocks and niggles from the Yeovil game and what was a really tough week.

"We will evaluate, go training now and see what we have got.

"If we have got two of them back then brilliant, if we have got one then brilliant, and if we have got none we have still got that same group who are unbeaten. Calvin Miller and Jack Clarke have come in and done great.”

Maidstone sit 15th in the table after three wins from nine so far after winning the National League South title last season.
