Louis Carey and Christian Ribeiro are poised to play their first match of 2010/11 when City tackle Cheltenham Town in a behind-closed-doors friendly tomorrow.

The defensive pair missed the entirety of pre-season due to heel and back problems respectively. However, both are now back in training and are pencilled in to feature against the Gloucestershire club.

Irish pair Jimmy Keohane and Patrick Hoban are also expected to play in the match at City's training ground. And goalkeepers Dean Gerken and Stephen Henderson will share a half each.

The game has been arranged in the absence of reserve matches this season, after City pulled out of the Combination league.
