Injury plagued Martin Smith could miss tomorrow's game against Lancaster with a hamstring problem but Wadsworth insists that there is no need to worry.

Martin Smith is now 27 and hasn't played football since March 2001.  He's been out for nearly a year and a half due to a serious knee injury which required a series of operations and tests.

In Mick's eyes Smith is a key man for next season's promotion campaign but was left out of the team in last night's behind-closed-doors match against Halifax Town.  What do you think of Martin Smith? Post your views on the message board.

Young centre-back Nathan Clarke is on the long-term injury list with a knee injury which he acquired in training.  Also ruled out is: Simon Baldry (Recovering well from recent thigh operation), Thomas Heary (twisted ankle) and Gareth Evans (knee).

Andy Booth is set to play though, he missed the Halifax clash after he and his wife Cheryl gave birth to baby boy Harrison Joseph.
