BROMSGROVE Rovers' hopes of boosting their fight against relegation at Racing Club Warwick tonight (7.45) have been hit by an injury crisis.

Five of their recent signings - Mark Creighton, Costas Xiourouppa, Kevin Banner, Lloyd and Andrew Woodvine - will miss the crucial Dr Martens League Western Division clash, while defender David Bridgewater faces a fitness test on a hamstring injury.

Director of Football Steve Daniels may have to dig deep into his reserve and youth team squads for a fixture Rovers desperately need to win. They are one place and six points outside the relegation zone but nearest rivals Cinderford have three games in hand.

He said: "It will be very difficult for us - they had a good result against Tiverton on Sunday and are not a bad side.

"But hopefully being away from home will help us - our home form recently has been dreadful."
