Forest Green at full strength for Port Vale test

Forest Green boss Mark Cooper will select from a full-strength squad again for the visit of Port Vale.

Cooper has no new injuries following his side’s midweek EFL Trophy win against Cheltenham, when he made seven changes.

Rovers will be without striker Christian Doidge following his move to Bolton for a seven-figure fee last week.

Midfielder Matt Worthington, signed on loan from Bournemouth, is hoping to make his first league start for the club.

Port Vale will be without injured defender Cristian Montano due a knee injury.

The Colombian full-back was forced out of last week’s home defeat to Newport after damaging a medial ligament.

Manny Oyeleke is hoping return to contention after knee, calf and hamstring injuries this season and fellow midfielder Tom Conlon (calf) will also be monitored.

Ben Whitfield could make his first start since returning to the club as a permanent signing last week from Bournemouth.
