Braintree will check on leading scorer Dan Holman and Ryan Peters ahead of the visit of Alfreton.
Ten-goal striker Holman and defender Peters were both forced off through injury during the first half of the 2-2 draw with Nuneaton on Thursday night and are doubts for a game which comes less than 48 hours later.
Manager Alan Devonshire may make changes anyway for his side's third of four home league games in the space of eight days.
James Mulley returned to the squad against Nuneaton after recovering from a dead leg and the midfielder may go back into the starting line-up on Saturday.
Alex Woodyard and Aaron Wickham replaced Holman and Peters respectively against Nuneaton and may come into contention for starting roles, while defender Ryan Watts is also an option for Devonshire.
Club captain Kenny Davis is likely to be recalled if he can recover from the knock that forced him to miss out on Thursday.
Alfreton's on-loan goalkeeper Jordan Pickford is likely to reclaim his place between the sticks.
Pickford was selected for the England Under-19 squad this week which forced him to miss a midweek Derbyshire Cup fixture.
However, with regular goalkeeper Phil Barnes still recovering from a thigh injury, Pickford will return to the Reds' starting XI this weekend.
Manager Nicky Law will check on the fitness of defender Darren Kempson, who has been struggling with a groin injury and has missed the last couple of matches. Adam Quinn may again deputise at the heart of the Alfreton defence.
Striker Nathan Arnold will be pushing for a start after being relegated to the bench for the 3-2 win against Gateshead last weekend.
