Ebbsfleet v Wrexham

Mark Ricketts could start for holders Ebbsfleet in the club's biggest game of the season when they face Wrexham in the FA Trophy quarter-final replay at Stonebridge Road on Tuesday.

Defender Ricketts replaced Craig Stone when the former Gillingham youngster was carried off with a broken leg just before half-time in the 0-0 draw at the Racecourse Ground on Saturday, after a challenge by his former Priestfield team-mate Andrew Crofts.

No blame has been attached to Crofts, which has been confirmed as a double-break. He was released from hospital on Monday,and driven back to Kent by Crofts, who joined the Welsh club for the rest of the season last week.

New signing John Martin will make his home debut, after signing last week, following the surprise departure of Jamie Hand.

Daish said: "It was a pleasing to get a result in Wales, but there is still plenty of work for us to do."

The winners will face former winners Stevenage Borough in the two-legged semi-final.
