Matt Tootle and Joe Leesley could make their return from injury this weekend.

Boston United manager Craig Elliott is hoping the influential duo may be in contention for places in the squad for Saturday's FA Cup contest against East Thurrock.

"I'm hoping they can train Monday (tonight) and Thursday and be available for next week," he said.

"Especially (winger) Joe. We've missed that balance and I can see it a mile off.

"There's not many players who can play his roles so we need him back."

Leesley has missed the last seven matches due to a hamstring problem while a hip problem has seen right back Tootle unavailable for the past six contests.
