Goalkeeper Mark Tyler could make his long-awaited return to first team action as the Town travel to Barrow on Saturday looking to bounce back from last weekend's home defeat to Ebbsfleet.

The stopper hasn't featured between the sticks for the Hatters since the 2-0 home reverse to Rushden & Diamonds on 31st October - some 15 games ago.

With on-loan Kevin Pilkington returning to parent club Notts County for treatment on a groin injury sustained in last Saturday's loss, Town chief Richard Money revealed that the 32-year-old is in contention for a starting place at Holker Street tomorrow but faces competition from Shane Gore for the number one spot.

In other injury news for the Town's longest journey of the campaign, striker Kevin Gallen (knee) and defender Shane Blackett (groin) remain sidelined.

Ed Asafu-Adjaye hasn't trained all week after picking up a knock having come on as a second half substitute against Ebbsfleet but Money is hopeful Claude Gnakpa has recovered sufficiently enough from injury to be passed fit for the game in Cumbria.
