Jimmy Quinn jets back from Scotland to a striker crisis as Lewes entertain Whyteleafe tomorrow.
Glaswegian Quinn leaves Scotland at noon tomorrow after spending Hogmanay with his family and he expects to be back at the Dripping Pan in time for kick-off.
Lee Newman is likely to be the Rooks' only fit striker for the clash with ninth placed Whyteleafe.
Matt Allen (leg) and Tony Reid (groin) are expected to miss out through injury while Dominic Barclay, who returned to the starting line-up in the win against Ashford Town (Middlesex) on Saturday, is unavailable.
Meanwhile, Germain Amanuel, who has not played for the last few matches, was released yesterday and is expected to sign for Dulwich Hamlet.
Quinn said: "From having four or five strikers, we now have one.
"We don't expect either Tony Reid or Matt Allen to recover in time for the game which leaves Lee Newman as our only striker."
Quinn has been trying to re-sign Warren Burton in time for the game. Former Chertsey striker Burton signed for Lewes six weeks ago but suffered a cracked rib and has not played yet.
He was allowed to join Molesey in a loan-type arrangement but Quinn now wants him back.
Tony Chin and Graham Harper return from suspension for the Whyteleafe match but Joe Clark (flu) is still out and Ross Venables (ankle) is not fully fit. Reserve team players Jason Edwards and Ryan McBride are added to the squad.
Former Albion defender John Crumplin, who is now physio at Lewes, made a surprise appearances as a substitute against Ashford Town and could figure in the squad again tomorrow.
