York City come up against troubled Kettering Town in a second successive home game this week.
Former Kettering midfielder Andre Boucaud [right] and leading scorer Jason Walker are again both unavailable and serving the final games of their three-match suspensions.
But striker Moses Ashikodi, who is currently on loan from the Poppies, is eligible to play although likely to be restricted to the substitutes bench.
That would see fellow marksman Jamie Reed continuing in attack following his recent recall, while Danny Pilkington should also hold his onto his place after scoring the opener in midweek.
"I'm worried about us, what we're about and what we do, how professional we are," manager Gary Mills explained to BBC Radio York.
"If we're going to be successful, win leagues, get promoted, whatever way, then we have to be professional enough, whoever we come up against, whatever their situation, to go and beat them.
"We're not going to take our foot off the plate and we're going to make sure we're doing our jobs properly. We'll prepare properly and go out and win the game."
Kettering recently transfer-listed their entire squad but at least have Jaime Navarro back from suspension.
However, goalkeeper Lawrie Walker is still banned and therefore Aldi Haxhia will continue between the posts, while former York defender Djoumin Sangare is considered doubtful with a thigh injury.
