Athletic are hoping that centre-half Cliff Byrne will be fit enough for Saturday’s trip to Yeovil Town but it may be that manager Paul Dickov may have to shuffle the side around if Byrne does not recover in time.
Goalkeeper Alex Cisak is another casualty from the Swindon game but it is likely that he will recover from his concussion to return to the squad. Counterpart Dean Bouzanis will be available again after his suspension so the boss will have to decide whether Cisak will drop to the subs' bench or not.
