St Albans City will be without talisman John Frendo for today’s crunch FA Cup tie.

Joint manager Graham Golds told the Herts Ad that Frendo, who scored 42 goals last season and has been a vital part of the Saints’ line-up this term, is “unavailable” for the game at home against Concord Rangers.

Lee Clarke will take his place with Sean Shields and Steve Wales providing support from the wings. Geoff Mitchell is City’s striking cover on the bench.

There is also a return to the squad for Sam Corcoran. The midfielder is coming back from a foot injury and starts on the bench.
