Nathan Dyer will make his first appearance of pre-season in the friendly at Eastleigh tomorrow.

The winger has recently been banished from training with the rest of the first-team as he continues to stall on signing a new contract.

Saints remain hopeful the young winger will agree to sign the contract, which is still on the table, and Poortvliet will give Dyer a run-out at The Silverlake Stadium.

The Dutchman said: "He is in talks with the club and we hope he will sign. He is not training with the first-team at the moment while he has not signed but we can use him.

"He's a good player, a quick player who can dribble and cross but he will maybe have to score more goals."

Polish striker Marek Saganowski, who is being eased back in after an extended lay-off due to his participation at Euro 2008, is also set to feature against Eastleigh as is goalkeeper Tommy Forecast.

Ticket prices are £10 for adults and £5 for students and OAP's while under 12's are free.

Saints (from): Andrej Penecky, Tommy Forecast, Jake Thomson, Arran Racine, Kyle Davies, Joseph Mills, Ben Reeves, Oscar Gobern, Marek Saganowski, Nathan Dyer, Jamie White, Matthew Paterson, Sam Argent, Tom Dunford, Callum McNish, Kayne McLaggon, Tony Garrod, Ryan Tafazolli
