ANDY Cook could return for the Mariners against Newport County – but fellow striker Lenell John-Lewis has been ruled out.
Cook, inset, was amongst a plethora of Town players who sat out Tuesday night's win at Woking, to rest his shin splints.
But John-Lewis' exit with a pulled muscle in his thigh looks likely to signal Cook's recall tomorrow – and rule the former Bury man out of next week's play-off semi-finals.
"Andy Cook is there if we want to use him," explained joint boss Paul Hurst. "It's an injury that causes him discomfort in his shins, and it's a difficult one to treat other than to not train.
"That's another decision that we've got to make. But having lost Lenny, that leaves us a bit lighter up there – certainly in terms of a 'bigger' striker.
"Lenny will certainly be out and I would imagine that the play-off first leg will come to soon for him as well.
"We'd like him back fit and our aim is obviously to get to the play-off final. If that was the case he might have a chance of being fit for that."
Centre-half Simon Ford (hamstring) is another likely to miss tomorrow's encounter and the semi-finals.
However, skipper Craig Disley, centre-back Shaun Pearson, striker Liam Hearn and keeper James McKeown are all back in contention.
"Whether they're 100 per cent fit, whether they're just short of that or whether they have to get bandaged up or take painkillers to get them out there, is another matter," added Hurst.
"We also gave Ian Miller a day off yesterday because the plan was to rest him on Tuesday night, but Simon's injury meant he had to come on.
"Ross Hannah became a dad on Wednesday, so along with the knocks that we have got we were a bit light on numbers at training yesterday.
"Let's get through tomorrow and at the end of the game we'll all know a whole lot more.
"The result is not the be-all and end-all – it will be in the following two games."
