FOREST Green’s sickness curse has struck again with captain David Pipe and striker Lee Hughes unable to travel for today’s Vanarama Conference clash at Braintree.
Pipe has trained this week as he builds his fitness up following a bout of pneumonia, but Hughes (chest infection) has been absent from the training ground.
Clovis Kamdjo is set to slot in at right-back in place of the suspended Dale Bennett.
Meanwhile, new signing Charlie Clough is in line to make his debut alongside Aarran Racine despite Danny Coles (calf) close to a return.
Elsewhere, Eddie Oshodi (hand), James Jennings (knee) and Luke Oliver (hamstring) are all sidelined.
