December Player of the Month Jimmy Smith has a broken foot which will rule him out for up to three months.

Defender Josh Yorwerth has a hamstring injury.

Meanwhile, loaned defenders Mitch Hancox, Christian Scales and Josh Emmanuel have all left along with midfielder Conor Henderson.

Chief executive Michael Dunford said: “I would imagine and would be disappointed if we are not able to sign at least another two or three players in this window.

“It is up to Mark Yates who we bring in and how many.

“We need to strengthen in term of numbers and quality.

“Mark Yates is trying to identify the players he wants, whether permanent or loan signings.
