A broken metatarsal has meant that Lacey, 20, hasn’t played since suffering the injury against Southport in November, while Parry, 22, hasn’t figured since having a hernia operation.

Saturday’s visit of Nuneaton comes too early for the duo though, as Still said: “I think we can put some people to one side that are still getting over their injuries, I don’t want to force them back.”

However, they are no close to a return and look set to feature against the Reds at Bell Close in midweek.

Still added: “They’re both training now, training full out. We had an in-house game on Tuesday where Lacey played, Parry didn’t play, but he probably could have played.

“We probably just wanted to give him a few more days. But he’s trained this week.

“We have a game next week against Leighton Town in the county cup so I would like to think they will both play in that.

“But they’re both still getting their fitness, but the next two or three weeks they should be fine.”
