KIDDERMINSTER Harriers have all their players except Matt Lewis available for tonight's friendly against Nationwide League Division One side Reading at Aggborough (7.45).

Talented young striker Lewis is currently in the middle of a two-week trial with Aston Villa.

Aggborough boss Ian Britton said: "Matt has played in two friendly matches for them and according to Alan Miller, Villa's youth development officer, has acquitted himself well so far.

"He won't play in our next three or four friendly matches as we want him to stay at Villa and concentrate 100 per cent on doing himself justice there."

Several Harriers players have experienced a few aches and pains since starting a rigorous pre-season training programme.

Newcomer Sean Parrish, Bo Henriksen and Lee Ayres have been handicapped by blisters while Mark Blake is stepping up his fitness programme with work in the gym.

Front-runner Drewe Broughton has fully trained after suffering a rib injury and midfielder Daire Doyle has responded to treatment on an ankle problem.

Striker Ian Foster has been receiving treatment for his sore shins while midfielder Andy Ducros and influential central defender Craig Hinton have also been feeling the effects of their return to training.

All the injuries, however, are not serious and Britton is expected to use around 16 players during tonight's clash against Reading, who were automatically promoted last season.

On Sunday Kidderminster are in action again when they visit Dr Martens League Western Division side Solihull Borough (3pm) before Wolves come to Aggborough on Wednesday (7.45pm).

n Phil Mullen takes his Evesham United side to West Midlands League side Brintons tomorrow for a low-key friendly (3pm).
