Histon skipper Neil Andrews could play some part in the match following a long-term knee injury.

Defender Craig Pope has also overcome a knee problem but is unlikely to be risked this weekend.

Forest Green defenders Darren Jones and John Hardiker are still unavailable after failing to recover from groin and knee injuries respectively.

But Adriano Rigoglioso is pushing for a start after playing for half an hour in the 2-2 draw with Ebbsfleet on Tuesday.

Forest Green manager Jim Harvey told BBC Radio Gloucestershire:
"Histon have had a remarkable season. When they came to us we played superbly and went 3-0 up, but although they are part-time their fitness levels were very good.

"Once they scored we had to dig-in to win. They'll want to finish as high as possible so I can see it being a ding-dong game between us to try and finish in seventh place."

Histon 2-2 Forest Green
Forest Green twice came from behind to earn a point in an entertaining game against Histon.

Jack Midson headed the hosts ahead from Rob Nightingale's inswinging corner in the 15th minute.

But Stuart Fleetwood brought Rovers level 10 minutes later with an angled volley - his 32nd goal of the season.

Nightingale steered home Midson's cross to put Histon 2-1 up at the break but Jones headed in Alex Lawless' cross to ensure honours were even.
