McAllister poised for comeback

15 April 2011 14:30
Shrewsbury boss Graham Turner could include Sean McAllister in his squad to face Stockport at Greenhous Meadow. The midfielder has not played since January because of a hernia injury but, after recovering from an operation on the problem and playing 90 minutes for the reserves in the midweek defeat to Morecambe, he has declared himself ready for a first-team return. However, it remains to be seen whether he is selected as Turner has a plethora of midfield talent to choose from with on-loan Wolves man David Davis and Nicky Wroe performing well in the centre of the park while Kevin McIntyre and Craig Disley are pushing for starting berths. Striker Nathan Elder turned out against the Shrimps as he continues his comeback from the cruciate knee ligament injury he suffered while on loan at AFC Wimbledon last April but he is unlikely to make a first-team return this season. Midfielder Steven Leslie was set to return to the club when his initial one-month loan at Hereford expired this weekend but Turner has confirmed the Shrews have agreed to extend his stay with the Bulls until the end of the season
