KIDDERMINSTER Harriers boss Jan Molby is checking through a lengthy injury list before finalising his side for tonight's Nationwide League Division Three clash against Plymouth Argyle at Home Park (7.45).
No fewer than 11 players were having treatment yesterday forcing the Aggborough chief to delay his team selection.
Still definitely ruled out are strikers Ian Foster and Stewart Hadley together with utility player Parfait Medou-Otye and midfielder Ian Bogie.
Foster, Hadley and Medou-Otye have hamstring problems while Bogie is still struggling to overcome a nagging back injury.
Defender Scott Stamps is being handicapped again by hamstring trouble after making his comeback in Saturday's 2-2 home draw with Hull City when he was substituted during the second-half.
Barry Horne is also suffering from a back injury while fellow midfielder Paul Webb took a knock on the leg against Hull.
Second choice goalkeeper Tim Clarke has a knee injury while defenders Brendan Murphy and Steve Pope, who are both currently out on loan, have also among those who have been on the treatment table.
Former Worcester City defender Mark Shail, however, is available for tonight's match after being forced to sit out Saturday's deadlock with Hull because of a one-match ban imposed for five bookings.
Mid-table Kidderminster will be bidding to get their league campaign back on track after failing to taste victory since Boxing Day when a John Durnin goal secured them a 1-0 win over Mansfield Town at Aggborough.
Since then they have lost against Mansfield, Brighton and Halifax and drawn with Torquay and Hull. They have also been knocked out of the LDV Vans Trophy by Second Division Bury.
Molby said: "Plymouth Argyle have an exceptional home record with eight wins and only three defeats, so it's going to be very tough for us.
"They have changed their season around and since coming in their new manager Paul Sturrock has done very well.
"Plymouth are a very well organised team, they work very hard and they have got some good players. They are starting to get themselves together and have conceded very few goals at home.
"Their pitch has taken a lot of stick and it will be a very similar one to that which we played on at Mansfield last week.
"We'll go there and try and win, but it is going to be extremely tough. They are on the up and they are having some good results so they'll be fancying their chances.
"It's Boxing Day since we last won, so we would like to put that right.
"Whether it's tonight at Plymouth or on Saturday at Carlisle it wont be for a lack of trying that's for sure."
The Pilgrims are currently one point behind Molby's men who have won only two away league matches so far this season, the last being on October 17 when they triumphed 2-1 at Darlington thanks to two goals from leading marksman John Durnin.
Kidderminster will select their team from the following squad: Brock, Clarkson, Stamps, Hinton, Shail, Smith, Bennett, Durcros, Mackenzie, Doyle, Broughton, Durnin, Clarke, Webb, Bird, Horne, Corbett.
