Riley blow for Robins

Cheltenham will remain without defender Martin Riley for Saturday's trip to Barnet. Robins boss Mark Yates had hoped Riley would of overcome a minor hamstring tear for the trip to Underhill but revealed the 21-year-old will remain sidelined for a further three weeks. Yates told the club's official website: "Martin Riley won't be available for the weekend but he is progressing well. (Sports therapist) Ian Weston and I were convinced he would be okay but it didn't prove to be. "He'll go through an intensive couple of weeks and hopefully we'll see him back in three weeks time." Portsmouth midfielder Marlon Pack will be pushing to make his debut after joining on loan for the rest of the season on transfer deadline day. Fellow loanee Shaun Jeffers is expected to offer a threat from the bench again following international duty with England Under-19s, having come off the bench to score the winner against Burton last weekend.
