Shane Cansdell-Sherriff hopes to make cut for Shrewsbury Town trip

Unfortunate Shrewsbury Town defender Shane Cansdell-Sherriff insists his hopes of been fit for tomorrow's promotion crunch at Swindon have not been shattered after he suffered a freak injury.

The Australian missed out on what would almost certainly have been a place on the bench for Saturday's impressive 2-1 victory at Barnet after treading on a small piece of glass at the entrance to his Warrington home on Saturday morning.

But the 29-year-old is still hoping to be available for the much-anticipated trip to the County Ground tomorrow night.

"The foot felt quite sore on Saturday afternoon and then I was able to put a bit more pressure on it yesterday," said the 29-year-old.

"I've been walking around fine on it this morning so hopefully I can train today and see what the gaffer's thoughts are for more tomorrow night."

Cansdell-Sherriff's latest setback followed immediately on from a three-and-a-half week absence with a shoulder injury.

"It was an unfortunate incident, especially straight after the injury, and it was frustrating to have to go to A & E rather than joining the boys on the coach."
