Osana nearing full fitness

AFC Wimbledon defender Curtis Osano is on the comeback trail having been sidelined since the beginning of January.

The former Luton full-back has been out for two months with a calf injury but is in the Dons' reserve squad for a Surrey Senior Cup clash with Chipstead on Tuesday night.

If he comes through unscathed, Osano could return to the Dons' backline for Saturday's crucial clash with fellow strugglers York. Centre-half Mat Mitchel-King has been deputising at right-back during Osano's absence.

First-teamers Stacy Long, Kevin Sainte-Luce, Brendan Kiernan, Charlie Strutton and Jason Prior have also been named in the squad along with Frankie Merrifield, who has returned from a loan spell at Harrow Borough.
