Matt Taylor’s Exeter squad depleted by coronavirus for Forest Green clash

23 December 2020

Exeter are set to be without three unnamed players for the Sky Bet League Two clash with fellow high-flyers Forest Green due to coronavirus.

A Grecians player has tested positive for Covid-19, while two other members of Matt Taylor’s squad are self-isolating.

Despite those enforced absences, sixth-placed Exeter have said they are preparing for the fixture as normal.

Forward Ben Seymour has been out with a hamstring issue in recent weeks and will be assessed.

Second-placed Forest Green could name an unchanged starting XI for the fourth successive match as they seek to extend a seven-game unbeaten run.

Rovers boss Mark Cooper has reported no fresh selection concerns following the weekend win over Carlisle.

Captain Carl Winchester is pushing for a start, having returned from injury as a late substitute against the Cumbrians.

Defender Kane Wilson has been struggling with a slight niggle, while Jordan Moore-Taylor and Josh March are among the other players hoping for recalls.
