Braintree Town manager Alan Devonshire is keeping a close eye on his squad's fitness ahead of two big games for them.
The Iron host Macclesfield Town in the Vanarama Conference Premier today (kick-off 3pm) with their FA Trophy third round replay at Ebbsfleet United coming hot on its heels on Tuesday.
A number of Braintree players came back from illness or injuries for the first game against Ebbsfleet in midweek and Devonshire said he will monitor them at training before making a decision on his starting line-up for today's game.
He added: “Having the replay on Tuesday doesn’t change how I think about Saturday at all.
"I’ll pick the strongest side I can for Macclesfield and only look forward to Tuesday after that.
“It’s one game at a time and I’ll pick the strongest team I can for each game.
“Charlie (Strutton) has been ill and I don’t know if he’ll be fit for Saturday. James Mulley is probably touch-and-go with his groin problem and I may not risk him, so it will probably be the same group for Saturday that faced Ebbsfleet.”
