"It's very possible" - Midfielder could return from injury in time for play-offs, says Town boss

High, on loan from Huddersfield, was a key player for Town until he sustained an ankle injury in the 2-2 draw at York City on February 22.

But Town boss Chris Millington says there's a chance the 24-year-old may be available for the play-off eliminator, which are played on May 14 and 15.

"He's working incredibly hard. It's very possible he'll be available for selection for the first play-off game," Millington told the Courier.

"Obviously he's not match fit, he's not match sharp, but he's progressing ahead of schedule and very, very keen to be involved if he can."

Goalkeeper Sam Johnson isn't expected to make a return from injury for Town's final league game of the season at Wealdstone on Bank Holiday Monday.

"He's one we don't want to take the risk with of rushing back," Millington said.

"With Toby (Savin) doing so well, we want to make sure that when we get him back, he's back and he's ready to contribute in the same way Sam would expect to contribute.

"We won't take any risks there."

On when Johnson might return, the Town boss said: "If we were successful in being involved in three play-off games, I'd certainly expect him to be available for selection for two, possibly all three."

Defender Festus Arthur is also unlikely to feature on Monday, having gone off with a quad injury in Saturday's win over Braintree.

He was due to have a scan this week, said Millington.

"Just as a precaution, to find out more detail and make sure we make the right decision around whether or not to involve him in the play-off games.

"So we'll know a bit more on that by the end of the week."

Forward Adan George is the only other player on Town's injured list who might be available for the play-offs.

The 22-year-old has been sidelined since January.

"Similar sort of time-frame to Scott I'd hope and similar attitude in that he's pushing to be back as soon as possible," Millington said.

"And it's very possible he'll be available for selection for the first play-off game."

On having more players available for the play-offs, the Halifax manager said: "It's a massive lift, obviously it gives us more options, it gives us a depth of quality and it gives us that bit of good feeling around the squad that there's extra players coming available and ready to push."
