ROB Hopley is missing from Witton Albion’s starting line-up for an FA Cup encounter with South Shields at Wincham Park.
The striker has a prior engagement, and Steven Tames – rested for a 2-0 defeat at home to Altrincham on Bank Holiday Monday – has replaced him.
Carl Macauley is boosted though by the return of full-back Matty Devine, who has missed the past three matches with a hamstring injury.
He takes the place of Ben Hedley, who has been refused permission to play by parent club Morecambe.
Chris Noone is included in a match-day squad for the first time this season, and is among the substitutes.
Visitors South Shields make one change to side that started a 3-1 win at Scarborough earlier this week.
Barrie Smith is missing, and Carl Finnigan returns after a three-match suspension.
Witton | Hare (GK), Gardner, Devine, Wilson, Brown, Ryan, Haywood, Foley, Tames, Jones, Williams Subs (from) Evans, Noone, Newby, Greenop, Neild (GK)
South Shields | Connell (GK), Baxter, Lough, Shaw, Morse, Arca, Briggs, Pattison, Cogdon, Finnigan, Sullivan Subs (from) Storey, Nicholson, Callaghan, Scott, Richardson, Holmes, Norton (GK)
