Recovered striker Michael Gash could be included in the squad when York City visit AFC Wimbledon this weekend.

The highly-rated 23-year-old has been sidelined since breaking a bone in his foot against Stevenage Borough at the beginning of October.

"I've been doing a lot of ball work, a lot of running, twisting, turning," he told BBC Radio York.

"There's no reaction to the injury - there's no pain or anything so I'll look to try to get myself in the squad against Wimbledon."

He continued: "I'd started scoring goals and enjoying my football and to get an injury like that to put me out for over a month is very frustrating.

"Luckily enough for the team we've got four top strikers that are all battling for a starting place and, as you see from whatever team the gaffer puts out there, they're scoring goals and helping the team win games."

But the former Ebbsfleet United striker realises that he will face a battle to get back into the side due to the continuing good form of York's current attackers.

"As a player in any position that's what you want," he added.

"You want to fight for your position, otherwise it can sometimes get too easy for you on the pitch knowing you're going to start every game because there's not another player to fill your boots if you're not playing well.

"So, to have competition is what you need to keep performing at the highest levels and keep you on your toes.

"But the front two at the moment that he (boss Martin Foyle) is starting with, Brodes (Richard Brodie) and Ranks (Michael Rankine), everything he (Brodie) touches goes in the back of the net and I think Ranks has probably been one of our best players in the last month."
