Olufela Olomola.

The Hartlepool United frontman has missed theast two matches having picked up an injury in the 1-1 draw at Maidenhead United a fortnight ago.

He appears to be in a front three alongside Tom Knowles and Charlie Wakefield with Jordan Barnett, who played in the forward line at Notts County last weekend, dropping back to left back.

Mark Little is on the bench so Morgan Williams switches to right back.

For the visitors, ex-Glovers’ loanee Angelo Balanta returns on the bench whilst defender Yoann Zouma is named among the substitutes.

The Frenchman is the brother of West Ham United player, Kurt, and has been out of the squad since he was caught filming his sibling kicking and slapping his pet cats.

Reuben Reid is given his first National League start of the season for Yeovil Town‘s trip to Wealdstone tonight (7.45pm kick-off).

The striker takes the place of Jordan Barnett who is missing from the squad having gone off with an ankle injury in the 0-0 draw with Solihull Moors at the weekend.

But, there is also no place in the squad for Mark Little with Morgan Williams presumably slotting in at right-back with Jack Robinson coming in on the left.

Lawson D’Ath, who played 70 minutes on Saturday, is not in the squad for the trip to Grosvenor Vale.

 

Yeovil Town: Grant Smith, Morgan Williams, Ben Barclay, Luke Wilkinson, Jack Robinson, Josh Staunton, Dale Gorman, Matt Worthington, Tom Knowles, Reuben Reid, Charlie Wakefield.

Full-back Mark Little and forward Tom Knowles both returned having missed the midweek derby draw with W*ymouth through suspension, and there was a return for Josh Staunton, who had missed the past two matches through injury.

Jack Robinson, Adi Yussuf and Sonny Blu Lo-Everton all dropped to the substitutes’ bench, where there was no sign of stand-in goalkeeper Max Evans, the versatile Alex Bradley and young midfielder Toby Stephens, who have all featured recent weeks.

For the visitors, who occupied the National League’s final play-off spot, full-back Jordan Cranston, who was sent off in the reverse fixture at the end of October, returned in place of on-loan Harry Boyes.

On the bench, stand-in goalkeeper Max Evans and young midfielder Toby Stephens return.

He is joined at the heart of the Glovers defence by captain Luke Wilkinson, who makes his first appearance since picking up an injury in the defeat at Southend United.

The pair replace the injured Josh Staunton and Jack Robinson, who drops to the substitute’s bench alongside Lawson D’Ath, who has signed a new deal to keep him at the club until the end of the season.

Substitutes: Alex Bradley,Jack Robinson, Lawson D’Ath, Adi Yussuf, Reuben Reid.

 

Defender Max Hunt is the noticeable absentee from the Yeovil Town side which takes on big-spending Wrexham at Huish Park this afternoon (3pm).

BBC Somerset reporter Sheridan Robins reports that Hunt is missing through injury with the defender on crutches at pitch side.

The other big news is that the Glovers start with no recognised striker with Adi Yussuf and Reuben Reid named on the bench after top-scorer Joe Quigley was sold to Chesterfield on Friday.

We are going to guess that is Tom Knowles and Charlie Wakefield as a front two ahead of a diamond in midfield with Sonny Blu Lo-Everton at the tip and Dale Gorman at the base.

For the visitors, star striker Paul Mullin returns after three weeks off alongside Kwame Thomas with defender Harry Lennon back after suspension.

Former Glover Ben Tozer makes his return to Huish Park in the centre of defence and Liam McAlinden, red carded when Yeovil won 2-0 in North Wales in November, returns on the bench.



Yeovil Town (4-1-2-1-2):
Grant Smith, Mark Little, Morgan Williams, Josh Staunton, Jack Robinson, Dale Gorman, Matt Worthington, Jordan Barnett, Sonny Blu Lo-Everton, Tom Knowles, Charlie Wakefield.

Wrexham: Lainton, Hall-Johnson, Hayden, Tozer, Lennon, Hosannah, J.Jones, Young, Davies, Mullin, Thomas.
Substitutes: Dibble, Cleworth, McAlinden, Angus, Ponticelli.

 

Yeovil Town have named just four substitutes for the FA Trophy tie at home to Needham Market (3pm kick-off).

However, defender Mark Little, a summer signing who has not played since picking up an injury in pre-season, is among those on the bench alongside back-up goalkeeper Max Evans, forward Tom Knowles and Alex Bradley, who presumably needs to pick six numbers, two lucky stars and own a field of four-leaf clovers to get a start.

It is centre half-turned-full back Morgan Williams who appears to be plugging the gap left by the departure of Dan Moss on the right side, with Josh Staunton pushed back out of midfield to replace injured captain Luke Wilkinson alongside Max Hunt in the centre of defence. Jack Robinson comes in on the left.

Matt Worthington returns to midfield after missing the midweek defeat at Southend United with Sonny Blu Lo-Everton and Reuben Reid promoted to the starting line-up having been on the bench in the last match.

There is no place in the squad for forwards Charlie Wakefield or Joe Quigley with the club reporting he is missing through illness, while boss Darren Sarll said yesterday that Wakefield had not trained this week.

Yeovil Town (4-3-1-2): Grant Smith, Morgan Williams, Max Hunt, Josh Staunton, Jack Robinson, Dale Gorman, Matt Worthington, Jordan Barnett, Sonny Blu Lo-Everton, Reuben Reid, Adi Yussuf. Substitutes:  Max Evans, Mark Little, Alex Bradley, Tom Knowles.
