The midfielder's loan spell at Whaddon Road ended miserably as an unused substitute in the 2-1 defeat to Wycombe and he has returned to parent club Birmingham after no agreement was reached to keep him.
Fellow loanee Shaun Jeffers has extended his loan from Coventry by a further month and he will be pushing for a start following another substitute appearance on Saturday, although Yates is unlikely to tinker with his side too much after what he described an "excellent" New Year`s Day performance despite the defeat.
The only injury concern within the camp is again winger Josh Low, who continues to struggle from a hamstring problem that has kept him on the sidelines for the past month.
