Nwadike set to make Bucks debut

Nwadike believes Telford can still win promotion

AFC Telford United's new midfielder Emeka Nwadike will make his debut for the Bucks against league leaders Kettering on Saturday.

Nwadike told BBC Radio Shropshire: "It's going to be a big game, it will be a good test for me to come in.

"I'm a box to box midfielder and like to get stuck in," the former Worcester City man added.

Telford could be without defenders Dave Roberts and Indy Khela who are both injury doubts.

Roberts suffered a foot injury against Nuneaton Borough on Easter Monday and he has had an X-ray on the injury.

Bucks manager Rob Smith said Roberts is a big doubt and Indy Khela could also miss out because of a thigh strain.

Midfielder Jamie Vermiglio could be out for the rest of the season after X-rays revealed his broken toe was taking longer to heal than was hoped.

Telford manager Rob Smith said: "It looks bad news, there's still a stress fracture there we think, it doesn't look like he'll be back."

Telford take on Kettering who are on the brink of automatic promotion to the Blue Square Premier and Smith believes they can upset the party:

"I think we can get something there, if we do then I think that will stand us in good stead."
