Dover v AFC Hornchurch

Dover Athletic have suffered a blow ahead of Tuesday's home game with AFC Hornchurch.

Experienced striker Giuliano Grazioli has been forced to pull out of Whites' squad because of a virus.

The former Barnet hit man, who came on as a second half substitute during Saturday's 2-1 win over Canvey, has been in good form recently.

Dover manager Andy Hessenthaler said: "It's a big blow because 'Graz' would have started against Hornchurch."

Hessenthaler is still without midfielders John Keister (hamstring) and Jon Wallis (groin), plus defender Matt Fish (foot), although he is hoping all three will be fit to return for Saturday's trip to Tooting & Mitcham.

He added: "With 'Graz' unavailable, it means I am down to 15 fit players so I have brought young Jacob Marsh from the reserves into the squad."

Hornchurch are one of only three teams to have beaten Dover in the league this season, having won 1-0 at home back in August. Hessenthaler added: "We want to make sure that they don't do the double over us."
