Harrogate Town v Stevenage FC: Alex Pattison could play a part for the Sulphurites
The former Wycombe Wanderers man, on-loan Sunderland winger Jack Diamond and left-back Lewis Page all missed Tuesday's trip to Crawley, a game which the Sulphurites drew 2-2.
Diamond will be available for selection again having served a one-match ban following his sending off at Port Vale last Saturday, though it was not expected that either Pattison or Page would be fit enough.

"Lewis Page won't be available, but Alex is a possibility," Town boss Simon Weaver told the Harrogate Advertiser.
"He'll be getting checked out by the doctor this week and we'll see. He's been feeling absolutely fine since after the Port Vale game, but there are all sorts of protocols when it comes to a head injury.
"He's keen to be involved and we'd love to have him back, however he'll only be considered if he feels alright and if the physio and the doctor agree that it is okay.

Pattison, 24, has been in impressive form since arriving at Wetherby Road this summer, netting three goals in his first two games for the club.
