Goalkeeper Cameron Clarke and Corey Jenkins both miss the match against Basingstoke following injuries sustained at Kings Langley.
Ashley Evans, Ian Traylor and Ryan Prosser all picked up knocks and will be assessed before kick off.
Clarke has been released from hospital following an injury sustained at King’s Langley.
He was involved in a collision and briefly knocked unconscious. Paramedics attended quickly and moved Cameron to Watford Hospital.
Cameron underwent a CT scan and the results came back as normal, but the hospital wanted to carry out a MRI scan to be safe.
The scan was carried out and he was allowed home. He will be out until the new year.
“Cameron would like to thank everyone at Kings Langley football club, paramedics and hospital staff for their help,” said a Merthyr Town statement. “He would also like to thank everybody for the messages they have sent him on social media and by text.
“Manager Gavin Williams would also like to thank Kings Langley for their help dealing with the injury and for the kind gesture made to the players by home club officials to provide them with refreshments on the coach for the journey home.”
Basingstoke won 6-0 at Dunstable in their last fixture with Sam Argent scoring five goals.
That ended an eight-game winless away run in the league.
