HEREFORD United will be hoping that Clint Easton can shake off a troublesome calf injury in time to take his place in the Bulls' line-up for Saturday's FA Cup third round clash at Tranmere.

Easton picked up the injury at Bradford and was forced to watch the New Year's Day draw with Notts County from the sidelines.

Better news is that Richard Rose, who has been absent for six weeks with an ankle injury, is almost ready to join in training again.
