Dan Batty has been out of action for York City due to a back spasm, missing the last two matches against AFC Fylde and Aldershot Town. Manager Adam Hinshelwood had hoped Batty would be available for the upcoming game against Solihull Moors, but he decided not to rush the midfielder back to avoid further setbacks in his recovery.

On the bright side, winger Callum Harriott is back in contention after sitting out the last game due to muscle tightness. Hinshelwood confirmed that Harriott is available for selection for the Solihull match. The manager emphasized the importance of not rushing Batty back too soon, as he has been a key player for York City this season.

In terms of squad rotation, with three matches in seven days, Hinshelwood hinted at making changes to keep the players fresh and maintain their high-intensity style of play. He stressed the importance of having a deep squad to cope with the demanding schedule and ensure that all players are ready to step up when needed.

The upcoming week will be crucial for York City, with back-to-back away games followed by a tough match at home. The players will need to be at their best to maintain their momentum and continue their positive start to the season. Hinshelwood expressed confidence in the squad’s ability to handle the busy schedule and emphasized the importance of maintaining intensity and freshness throughout the week.
