"He won't be ready for the weekend but Aaron (Scholes, physio) is working with him on a daily basis to help him recover.

"He opened up his knee, it's possibly a little nip on his cartilage, but not significant."

On Osawe, who went off injured in the first-half of last Saturday’s 4-0 home defeat by Woking. Millington said: "He's got a slight hamstring strain, so he'll be at least a couple of weeks."

Millington confirmed Sam Minihan and Sam Smart weren't involved on Tuesday night due to a selection decision rather than any injuries.

On attacker Angelo Capello, Millington said: "He's still recovering from being stood on his Achilles.

"I'd expect he'll be available for the weekend."
