Bruised and battered Scarborough go to Rochdale in tonight's FA Cup first round replay - the clubs' third head to head in less than ten days.

Boro's threadbare squad has been hit by the news towering centre back Frenchman Alex Marinkov, the Seasider's player of the season so far, could be out of action for up to two weeks with a foot injury. Striker Liam Robinson will also miss the match with a troublesome groin strain. Manager Mick Wadsworth, in a vain attempt to rescue a point from Saturday's match with Hartlepool, was forced to bring Robinson on as a substitute after just 30 minutes when Scarborough went 2-0 down.

But the Boro boss admitted the bustling striker was not fully fit and will now sit out the trip to Spotland.

Teenage midfielder Neil Radigan, 18, whose last appearance was in the 0-0 draw with Barnet last month, could earn a recall to the starting line-up while the Boro bench is unlikely to feature a player over the age of 20.

The winners of tonight's clash will play host to either FA cup giant killers Emley or division three title chasers Rotherham United who play their replay tonight.

Scarborough: Elliott, Kay, McNaughton, Lydiate, Hoyland, Atkinson, Worrall, Bullimore, Russell, Brodie, Williams, Jackson, Carr, Radigan, Morris, Naisbett.
