York v Exeter preview
York boss Russ Wilcox could opt to make several changes for his side’s home game against Exeter.
The Minstermen remain a point above the relegation zone following last week’s 3-0 defeat at Northampton and with striker Jake Hyde serving the final game of his three-match ban, Wilcox must decide whether to include Diego De Girolamo in his starting line-up.
The Sheffield United forward rejoined the club on loan last week in time to start on the bench, with Wes Fletcher resuming up front.
Midfielder Luke Summerfield remains sidelined with a thigh injury as York chase a second league win in 10 matches.
Exeter have been dealt a huge injury blow with the news David Noble will spend a few more weeks on the sidelines.
The Grecians have struggled without the influential midfielder, who aggravated a hamstring injury during a brief appearance against Portsmouth earlier this month, and Paul Tisdale will now have to manage without the former Oldham man for a few weeks.
But Tisdale expects to call on experienced duo Craig Woodman and Danny Butterfield against the Minstermen.
Woodman was forced off at half-time in their disappointing home defeat against bitter rivals Plymouth on Saturday with hamstring tightness while Butterfield missed that match with a minor injury, but the pair should return.
