GRAVESEND & Northfleet will be without defenders Nick Burton and Paul Sturgess for Sunday's Conference match away to Chester.

Burton, who had to helped off with damaged ankle ligaments after 78 minutes at Barnet, is likely to be out for two to three weeks. Sturgess is suspended.

Fleet's manager Andy Ford said: "Quite honestly, at this stage I have no idea what the side will be.“

He added: "I rushed Nick back and now we've paid the price.”
