LEFT back Callum Hart is set to make a return for two months in tonight's second round Wessex League Cup tie against Fleet Spurs at the Ray Mac (7.45pm).

The experienced defender suffered a dislocated shoulder against Folland Sports in an FA Vase tie almost two months ago but following rest and rehab, is ready for competitive football.

Keeper Gareth Barfoot is likely to be out for another week with a groin injury, while Dan Demkiv's hamstring problem and Calum Brockway's ankle injury, both sustained in the 6-1 win at Follands on Saturday, will be assessed this week.

New signing Harry Wedlake, who was released by Havant and Waterlooville, could also play a part in what is expected to be a much-changed side.

"It's a competition we want to do well in," said Claridge. "Micky Jenkins was at AFC Portchester last season when they won it and said it was a great way to end the season so we want to give it a good go.

"There is also a chance the final could be played at the Ray Mac as the league have asked us to tender for it and it would be a real incentive to make it a great occasion."

The winners of the tie will play Amesbury Town away on Wednesday, December 16 in the last 16.

One player missing will be Jack Maloney. The winger has agreed his release with Steve as he seeks more game time elsewhere.
