Impact Baldock looks to most likely be facing a late fitness test ahead of Saturday's contest, as he is still recovering from a calf issue he just recently picked up. There appears to be decent confidence around the player's return as well, with the injury being less severe than first thought, as he will look to avoid any time on the sidelines, only having appeared in two of the club's past eight matches due to injury. If he is an option Saturday, he will hope to earn back his starting spot, only having missed the start three times this season when an option, although the club may choose to keep him on the bench, preserving the defender after the injury scare.
