Leatherhead kick-off their FA Trophy campaign this weekend with a trip to Ryman Premier rivals Canvey Island, missing three key players.
Adam Green, Kiernan Hughes-Mason and Ryan Dalby are all suspended for the first qualifying round tie. However, someone who is available is Vas Karagiannis, who has returned to Fetcham Grove after a brief stint at Hayes & Yeading.
The sides have already met his season at the Prospects stadium, where Stacy Long hit a second half equaliser against the Islanders, who finished the match with nine men, in a 1-1 draw.

Tanners boss Richard Brady said: “Canvey Island will be tough, but it is what it is. We’ve only lost once on the road this season so we’ll be ready – it’ll be a typical Ryman League game.
“We’ll be missing some players, but it will give others a chance to make that step up.
“It’s one of those where I can ask players if they’re ready to take that opportunity.”
