Roy McFarland updated SPIREITES WORLD'S Geoff Mitchell on the current injury situation.

MARK INNES SET TO CONTINUE HIS COMEBACK AGAINST THE MILLERS ON TUESDAYSteve Payne
We have taken it cautiously with Steve so he's not trained with the first team today. Training today is more technical with heading involved and the last thing we would want would be for Steve to get another knock and reopen his stitches but he will join the first team squad on Tuesday and should be okay for Saturday.

Chris Brandon Got cramp towards the end of the QPR game and survived Glynn Hurst's attempts of first aid on the pitch before Jamie was allowed on the pitch to treat him. We don't see any long term problems from  that and he should be fit for Saturday.

 

Steve Blatherwick trained today and was heading the ball, the specialist report was pleasing but he won't be ready for Saturday.

 

Stewart Howson and Mark Innes will both play in a specially arranged friendly at Rotherham on Tuesday. Mark should play 90 minutes to sharpen him to join the squad for Saturday game. Stewart Howson was involved today in the training and he will probably play 45 minutes to an hour at Rotherham and we will take it from there.

 

Jez Mitchell seems to be suffering with growth spurts sometimes its shin splits. But in Jez's case its his heal which as put some pressure on tendons. We have tried nursing him with odd days off but that's not worked so he will have a week off training and try and progress him next week.

 

Adam Smith took a whack on his ankle I doubt he will be involved at Rotherham the knock really needs a couple more days.

 

Mark Smith still not recovered from his knock but he should be fit enough to join Ossett by the end of the week or early next week at the latest.
