Telford striker Steve Thompson may return from injury

Thompson was injured in the defeat by Northwich last month

Telford boss Rob Smith refuses to rule out a return for striker Steve Thompson against Solihull on Saturday after he picked up a hamstring injury.

Thompson limped off against Northwich last month but he is ahead of schedule with his recovery and may play.

"He's training - I still think it's probably a bit too early, but he feels OK," Smith told BBC Radio Shropshire.

"There's a possibility he could be included, but we'll have to see how he gets on."

Telford play Solihull Moors at the New Bucks Head, hoping to get back on track after losing 4-0 against Blyth at Croft Park in their last league game.

And Thompson's inclusion would be a big lift with Smith singling him out as the player who helped them to revive their season with four wins out of five before he picked up his injury.

"I don't think it was a coincidence our form improved when he was playing well. His commitment is there for all to see - he could be a big player for us."
