Elvis Hammond is also competing for a place in Yates' line-up having signalled his return from an ankle injury by smashing four goals for the reserves in midweek.
But it is not all good news for the Robins boss as Lee Ridley has seen his rehabilitation from a calf injury take a slight setback after he was involved in a car accident.
The left-back suffered minor injuries after his vehicle skid and left the motorway and is unable to do any work at the training ground for a couple of days, meaning he remains around two weeks away from a return to training. January signing Danny Andrew will continue in his place.
Fellow defender Ashley Eastham saw red in last weekend's goalless draw at Grimsby and will now serve a one-match ban, while winger Marley Watkins (ankle) faces around 10 days out. Captain Shane Duff (Achilles) has started running again as he targets a March return.
