Team News: James Constable shrugs off knock to start Eastleigh's Conference playoff

James Constable has shrugged off a knock to lead Eastleigh's forward line in their Conference Premier playoff semi-final first leg against Grimsby Town.

The Spitfires' leading goalscorer this season, who has netted 18 times, picked up an injury late on in Saturday's 2-1 win over Kidderminster Harriers.

However, the 30-year-old has been passed fit to start as Richard Hill's side look to draw first blood in the tie at the Silverlake Stadium.

Grimsby, meanwhile, have recalled Carl Magnay, Shaun Pearson, Nathan Arnold and Lenell John-Lewis after resting them for the win over Aldershot.

Gregor Robertson and Christian Jolley, however, are both out injured.

Eastleigh: Flitney, Spence, Stanley, Constable, Reason, McAllister, Midson, Strevens, Evans, Turley, Partington Subs: Beckwith, Odubade, Howard, Pell, Burton

Grimsby: McKeown, Nsiala, Gowling, Pearson, Magnay, Mackreth, Brown, Disley, Arnold, John-Lewis, Palmer Subs: Hannah, Pittman, Clay, Parslow, Chapell
