Skivo: Stam Will No Longer Play Whilst I'm Manager

Yeovil Town manager Terry Skiverton has said that central defender Stefan Stam will never play for him again. The Dutchman has been on the transfer list since late last year, and has made just 23 appearances for the Glovers across his 18 months at Huish Park, including just three during his second season. Much of that time has been spent on the treatment table, and even though he is now fit, his time with the Glovers is effectively at an end.

Skiverton selected Stam on the bench at Home Park against Plymouth Argyle, but in this afternoon's line-up against Milton Keynes Dons, he has been removed from the squad entirely, and the Yeovil boss told BBC Somerset that he would never play for the Glovers again:

"Stefan Stam has got to find first team football elsewhere. As long as I am here, even if we are ravaged with injuries, he will no longer be selected for my squads."

Apart from the absence of Stam, the Glovers are unchanged from the trip to Home Park, but Stam's absence means that Yeovil Town will field just five substitutes for the match. Michael McIndoe is included in the line-up for the visitors.

Yeovil Town: (4-4-2)
1. John Sullivan
8. Luke Ayling 5. Paul Huntington 14. Max Ehmer 6. Nathan Smith
11. Andy Welsh (62) 20. Paul Wotton 25. Shaun MacDonald 10. Dean Bowditch
9. Sam Williams 7. Andrew Williams

Substitutes:
16. Edward Upson 17. Craig Calver 21. JP Kalala 23. Billy Gibson 31. Rhys Baggridge
