Aldershot's long-term injured are all returning just in time to help the club secure a return to the Football League.
Top scorer John Grant, winger Ryan Williams and midfielder Ryan Scott are all available for the leaders with seven league games remaining.
Grant told BBC Southern Counties Radio: "It's frustrating because I really wanted 30-plus goals this season.
"Over anything personal, I'd take anything for the team. It didn't hurt so much watching them winning."
Grant says the club have been extremely supportive: "We've got a great team spirit with everyone asking how we're getting on. And the gaffer has let me go home and see the family to get me away from the place, which gave me a lift".
We can smell it but we're not quite there

Grant is especially delighted for Ryan Scott and Ryan Williams who've both missed the entire season so far: "It made my day seeing them coming back. Seeing them keep their enthusiasm and training every day and keeping their heads was amazing. If that had been me, I'd have gone mad. Hopefully they can still play a part this season".
The Shots require 11 more points to clinch the title and promotion. Grant knows the job is almost done: "Its a brilliant position to be in, but like the gaffer says, we haven't won it yet. We can smell it, but we're not quite there. As soon as we see the Trophy at the ground - that's when we'll relax".
