Swindon Town Club Physiotherapist Dick Mackey is hopeful of making striker Billy Paynter available for selection this weekend.

Colchester United are the visitors to The County Ground on Saturday afternoon and the Robins will hope to have Paynter available after injury.

The striker was substituted in the first half after taking a heavy challenge, with Lee Peacock taking his place up front.

Mackey, speaking on Monday morning, offered the latest on the striker's situation.

"Billy is recovering from what was a kick just behind the knee," he said.

"He will have treatment this week and we hope to have him available for the visit of Colchester, although we can't guarantee that at this stage," Mackey added.

Town fans have an opportunity to view the new Members Lounge at The County Ground with canapes and refreshments on offer during next week's open evenings.
