Nicholas Bignall and Liam Bridcutt have been granted permission to play for Stockport in their FA Cup first-round clash against Tooting and Mitcham.

On-loan Reading forward Bignall and Chelsea midfielder Bridcutt are allowed to feature having been given the go-ahead by their parent clubs.

Manager Gary Ablett, meanwhile, will be trying to the last to confirm Paul Huntington's availability with Leeds.

Elsewhere, Matty Mainwaring remains the only absentee as he recovers from his broken leg, with his return pencilled in for February.

County have lost their last three games going into the encounter but know nothing less than victory will suffice against their Ryman League Premier opponents.
