Oxford United head for Cheltenham Town on Saturday in Sky Bet League 1 (3pm)
TEAM NEWS
A young U's side pushed Premier League side Crystal Palace all the way in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday with a team missing eight senior players.
"It doesn't look as though any of the injured players will be available for the weekend either" Karl Robinson told iFollow this morning. "But the spirit was there and we played well on Tuesday night so we just get on with it and we prepare properly looking to get a win on Saturday."
Kyle Joseph got off the mark against Morecambe last weekend and will be keen to do well against his former side while Stuart Findlay, Simon Eastwood and Matty Taylor are all expected to return to the starting eleven
THE OPPOSITION
Cheltenham enjoyed an excellent 1-0 win at Exeter last Saturday, their first win of the season, although it came at a price with summer signing Ryan Jackson limping off with a hamstring problem.
Remarkably the win at Exeter came just two weeks after the Robins were beaten 7-0 by the same team at the Completely-Suzuki Stadium
Former U’s defender Charlie Raglan replaced Jackson on Saturday and could line up against his former side while another former United man, Liam Sercombe will be keen to do well against the U’s.
