Striker Lee Hughes will miss tomorrow's FA Cup Sponsored by E.ON First Round replay against Cheltenham Town at Boundary Park (KO 7.45pm).

Hughes, 32, was shown a second yellow card in the final minutes of the 1-0 win at Northampton on Saturday, triggering an immediate one-match ban.

The frontman's absence means a likely opportunity for Lewis Alessandra, with Darren Byfield unavailable and Chris O'Grady and Craig Davies both out on loan.

Meanwhile Deane Smalley is struggling with injury, leaving Matty Wolfenden as the club's only other senior striker.

Hughes - who also missed the original tie at Whaddon Road - scored a hat-trick against the Robins in a 4-0 win at Boundary Park in August.
