Lions boss Kenny Jackett could receive a double boost for Saturday's vital encounter with Port Vale.
Dave Martin has shaken off the groin problem which he sustained against Southend and been back in training in the latter part of the week, while Ryan Smith (left) suffered no reaction after his hour long run-out in the reserves and is likely to be added to the squad.
Dave Brammer, who has suffered any number of cuts and bruises recently should be fit while Alan Dunne, who impressed against Palace reserves in midweek, could also back in contention.
Meanwhile Port Vale defender Jason Talbot has been ruled out of Saturday's game with a badly-bruised toe. That leaves manager Lee Sinnott with a selection problem as his other-left back, Adam Eckersley, is still out with an ankle injury.
The problem position could be filled by versatile winger Paul Edwards, who has resumed training after a hamstring problem.
However, centre-halves George Pilkington and Mark McGregor have both played at left-back before so could switch.
Sinnott said: "Neither Adam Eckersley nor Jason Talbot will be fit for Saturday's game.
I think Jason might be fit for a week on Saturday. The toe isn't broken it is bruised, but is still painful.
I think Adam will probably be fit for the week after that, but we will monitor him. We are not doing too badly injury wise, but it is a bit uncanny we have two out in the same position."
