The only exceptions are Matt Hill and Jason Jarrett who both picked up minor injuries during Monday's double training session at Springfields and are unlikely to be risked.

But Simon Whaley should be available for selection after sitting out Saturday's 3-0 win at Morecambe with a slight calf strain.

Irvine said: "Jason has a dead-leg and was feeling it a little bit towards the end of the second session on Monday.

"He almost got through the whole session but just felt some pain in the last run.

"Matt missed the afternoon session with a tight groin, so we don't want to take any chances with him. It was the same with Simon Whaley on Saturday. We left him out as a precaution to stop it becoming anything more serious.

"We're being a little bit cautious. After all the hard work the players have done over the last three weeks, why take unnecessary risks?

"I've been really pleased with the fitness levels, and credit has to go to the players for the good condition they came back in – that allowed me to push them hard from the word go.

"A lot of them are saying it's the hardest pre-season they've ever done and hopefully that will pay off on the pitch when the season starts."
