Maidstone manager Peter Nott faces selection problems ahead of Saturday's Ryman League Premier Division game at home to Cray.

Danny Hockton, who suffered a groin strain in the goalless draw at Sutton last Saturday, Craig Stone (ankle) and Dean Hernandez-Bradshaw (hip) are all doubtful, while Nathan Paul (knee) and Tom Parkinson (groin) are set for a further two weeks on the sidelines.

New signing from Welling Chris Saunders is expected to miss two weeks with a foot injury, and will also face a ban after being dismissed on his debut at Sutton.

Nott (pictured) said: "We knew it would be a tough week, against Sutton and Dartford (Tuesday), and it has put us back into the mix."

"Saturday is a massive game and the players will be up for it. It is a Kent derby and both teams know how important it is. We cannot afford to be complacent, we have got to start picking up points.

"A win would mean I would enjoy my Saturday night a lot more, but whatever happens, there is a long way to go this season."
