Sam Johnstone is in contention for a recall to the Scunthorpe United starting line-up when the Iron host in-form Huddersfield Town tomorrow.

The Manchester United loanee missed Saturday's 0-0 draw at MK Dons after dislocating a finger while training with the Premier League champions a week ago.

But after being able to take part in work at United's Grove Wharf training ground this morning, Johnstone could find himself back in action against the Terriers.

That's despite a clean sheet for his stand-in Sam Slocombe at stadium:mk, in what was the former Bottesford Town stopper's first league start.

"There were no fresh injuries from Saturday, unbelievably," said Knill this lunchtime.

"We had a couple of knocks, but we were in yesterday and everyone trained

"Sam Johnstone trained today which was good, though Sam Slocombe did well at the weekend and I was delighted for him.

"It gives us confidence in him."

As well as Johnstone, the Iron will have full-back Andrew Wright available again tomorrow after a one-match suspension.

But Damien Mozika will not be fit to face second-placed Huddersfield, who have not lost in League One since suffering a 4-1 drubbing at Southampton in December.

The Frenchman is still sidelined with the ankle problem he sustained while training last week, though his absence is compensated by the way Oliver Norwood and Michael O'Connor combined in the middle of the park against the Dons.

Knill believes the latter, who is still in talks about a fresh Iron contract, is looking back to his best.

"He's not going to be fit for tomorrow, that's for sure," said the Iron boss, with reference to Mozika.

"But the players that played on Saturday played really well. I thought both midfielders were excellent.

"Mickey was really, really good and has taken on a lot of what we've talked about with him.

"I watched him today in training and he looks really on his game. He's confident, knows what he wants to do and how he's going to do it."
