Tamworth two depart Royals

Sutton Coldfield Town manager Neil Tooth is preparing to take on in-form Carlton Town at Coles Lanes on Saturday without Tamworth loanees James Wilcock and Jake Healy.

The Evo-Stik NPL First Division South club announced on Thursday that the pair had been recalled to their Conference Premier neighbours. The Royals will also be without Stuart McNaught who is continuing to build his match fitness at Midland Alliance Coleshill Town.

Royals assistant-manager Ross Thorpe said: "Stuart has played the last three games for Coleshill and his recovery period is starting to get shorter. He will train with us tonight, but he is still a few weeks off before he will be fully available for first-team selection.

"'ve spoken to Coleshill manager Paul Casey who has said his progress has been consistent, which for everyone, but most importantly Stuart, is fantastic. When me and Neil looked at the fixtures within the current month, we always knew Carlton, was going to be the game that would really ask questions of us.

"They got to the play-offs last season and the reports so far this season have been they`re just as strong, so we know this will be a massive test. With games now in doubt, coming up to the heavy winter months, it's essential, we build our momentum, especially at home, but know Carlton will see this as a game they expect to win, and hopefully it will make for a great game."
