Wilson's side are guaranteed a place in the League One play-offs

Swindon Town manager Danny Wilson has admitted he may have to take some calculated risks with injured players.

Six first-team players have needed treatment this week as the Robins prepare to face Brentford on Saturday.

Swindon have to win their final two games of the season to have any chance of winning automatic promotion.

"There's Saturday to look at and then there's the big picture," Wilson told BBC Wiltshire. "We want to win the game, but that could come at a cost."

Danny Ward, Alan Sheehan, Jon-Paul McGovern, Jonathan Douglas, Charlie Austin and top scorer Billy Paynter have all been on the treatment table this week.

Wilson added: "A lot of them are strains and possibly a bit of fatigue as well.

"If there's any doubts about them, they won't play. It's a concern that the mainstay of the team are feeling some tiredness.

"It's understandable really after 50-odd games without a break in most cases. It's not easy."
