Injured captain Danny Kedwell could return for Ebbsfleet in their play-off semi-final against Hampton & Richmond Borough.

Kedwell has missed the Fleet's last four games after breaking his arm in the 1-1 draw at Truro on April 8.

The striker required surgery on what turned out to be a double fracture but took part in the warm-up before Saturday's 1-0 win against Oxford City at Stonebridge Road.

Asked whether his skipper would play any part in the play-offs, Fleet boss Daryl McMahon said: "Maybe.

"Definitely not Wednesday but we’re hopeful that he can maybe for the second leg (on Sunday) or if we were to get to the final (next Saturday).

"But in the first leg he won’t be there.

"He’s old enough to understand how to manage his body and I’m not going to try to kill him.

"We want him back but we want him back being Danny Kedwell, not somebody we’re just carrying.

"We know how big a player he is for us, he’s a great player for us, he’s been our talisman for two years and hopefully we can get him back."

Bradley Bubb is out long-term with an Achilles injury but there will be no recall for Charlie Sheringham to bolster the Fleet's strikeforce.

Sheringham ended the season on loan at Hemel Hempstead and started just seven league games for Ebbsfleet during the regular season.

McMahon said: "He’s still at the club but he won’t be coming back.

"You’ve got to think of the dynamics of the changing-room and everything else.

"The team we’ve had has won 17 games and three draws (in 2017) and he’s not been part of that. We’ll stick with what we’ve got and we’ve got some good players."
