Fellow frontman Folami has been out of action since tearing an achilles tendon in the 1-0 U23s victory at Cardiff in January.

The U23s, whose manager Gerard Nash won’t be departing for the boss’s job at League of Ireland St Patrick’s Athletic, Stephen O’Donnell having been handed the position last week, are without a point from their first three Professional Development League Two South games this season.

Meanwhile, U23s midfielder Brett McGavin's loan spell with Vanarama National League South side Concord Rangers has come to an end. McGavin, 19, made six appearances for the Beachboys, scoring once.

Elsewhere, the U18s won 1-0 at Bolton Wanderers on Saturday morning, sub Michael Bareck netting the goal shortly after coming on.
