Updated: October 27, 2008, 7:28 PM UK
Aldershot manager Gary Waddock again has no new injury or suspension worries ahead of his side`s clash with Port Vale.
Waddock is able to name the same squad for the second time in succession as his side look to arrest a run of six games without a win, having also slipped to a 3-1 defeat at Rochdale at the weekend.
The Shots boss is still without long term absentees Rhys Day (hernia) and Dave Winfield, while defender Anthony Straker (thigh) is a fortnight away from returning.
Midfielder Ricky Newman is pushing for a starting berth after only making the bench in Saturday`s defeat, while strikers Marvin Morgan and Junior Mendes could also be in contention to start in place of the misfiring John Grant.
Port Vale winger Shane Tudor will definitely miss the clash but could be available for the weekend.
The former Leyton Orient winger has been struggling with a troublesome knee injury over the past few weeks and suffered a further setback when it swelled up this week.
A club spokesman said: "Shane has got fluid on his knee which needs to be drained so he will not be available for the Aldershot game.''
Striker Kyle Perry will also miss the Shots clash with his own knee injury and is not expected to be back for the next two weeks.
Otherwise manager Dean Glover has no new injury worries and is expected to name the same starting XI which beat Morecambe 2-1 last time out.
Luke Rodgers should start again after he scored the opener against the Bees on his return to the side.
Striker Steve Thompson remains a long-term absentee as he continues to struggle with a hamstring problem.
