King included in squad

Last updated : 06 November 2002 By GillsMAD

King was recently released from prison after an 18-month sentence for handling a stolen car was reduced to nine months and played for 25 minutes in the 1-0 win at Ipswich but suffered a knee injury during that appearance.

Since then he has missed the division games against Wolves and Grimsby, but he is now ready to return.

Player-manager Andy Hessenthaler confirmed: "Marlon comes into the squad. He got a bang on his knee against Ipswich but he's been training this week."

Hessenthaler also said that defender Barry Ashby missed training on Tuesday with a slight groin problem but should be ok for the cup tie.

Rod Wallace is still missing with a hamstring problem.
