The operation on Chris Todd's' stomach injury has been a success but there now follows a period of rehabilitation for the United centre back. It will probably take six weeks before Chris can be expected to return to action for the Gulls.

On loan goalkeeper, Michael Poke, is hoping to be back in full training in a couple of weeks as he recovers from the thigh injury that has kept him out of action since the match at Forest Green.

The rest of the United squad is fit and in full preparations for the F.A. Cup tie with Chipstead at Plainmoor on Saturday.
