Stuart Whitehead hopes to prove his fitness (James Baylis)

AFC Telford United's Stuart Whitehead hopes to be playing again at the weekend by proving his fitness in training.

Whitehead picked up an ankle injury in March. It had been feared he would be out for the rest of the season.

Assistant boss Larry Chambers told BBC Radio Shropshire he hoped the defender would play a part at Stalybridge this weekend.

Telford are third in the Blue Square North with two games left.

Midfielder Gary Fitzpatrick will be assessed by physios this week after limping off in Telford's 3-1 win over fellow play-off contenders Harrogate Town.
