Shrewsbury Town's Tom Bradshaw has handed the team an injury scare ahead of Saturday's trip to Aldershot by limping out of training with a knee injury.
What happened?
The young striker, who came off the bench to inspire a come-from-behind 2-1 League Two victory at Bradford last month, has gone on to play a big part in the two further wins since then. But he now faces a race against time to be fit for the trip to the Recreation Ground.
Why it matters for Shrewsbury
The team has at least been boosted by the easing of the sickness bug that affected several players. "The bug has disappeared but Tom limped out of training yesterday morning with a little bit of a problem with his knee," said boss Graham Turner.
What comes next?
Turner is also continuing to keep tabs on Wolves midfielder Nathan Rooney, who has been told he will not be handed a new contract at Molineux. Rooney spent time training with Town and Turner is monitoring the Telford-born youngster closely. | Category | Stat | | League standing | 19th in League Two, 49 pts, 13W-10D-23L from 46 games | | Recent form | LDDWL | | Last result | Gillingham 1-0 Shrewsbury (2026-05-02) |
Meanwhile, Town striker James Collins has been shortlisted for the League Two player of the month award for March. Collins is up against Craig Davies of Chesterfield, Gillingham's Cody McDonald and Mark Roberts of Stevenage. The winner will be announced on Sky Sports News on Friday morning. Town's reserves face Wrexham tonight away at Airbus's Airfield ground (7pm). The current league situation is a challenge for Shrewsbury, with the team sitting 38 points behind leaders Bromley and having lost the last two matches.
