MICHAEL COLLINS will see a specialist on Friday hoping to get the green light to step up his comeback bid.

The midfielder has missed play-off-bound Town’s last two League I games following surgery on a finger.

He is now able to take part in non-contact training drills, and boss Lee Clark hopes he will soon be back in contention.

“It was a nasty fracture, and the surgeon had to do quite a bit of cutting in to sort it out,” explained the manager.

“But Michael’s been able to get rid of the sling and is now wearing only a finger cover, and we’re hoping for the all-clear.”

Centre-back Neal Trotman trained as normal yesterday after being substituted during Saturday’s 6-0 win at Stockport because he felt unwell.
