KIDDERMINSTER Harriers will have on-loan teenager Colin Larkin back in their attack for tonight's Division Three clash with Lincoln City at Sincil Bank (7.45).
He missed Saturday's 1-0 home FA Cup defeat against Darlington because his club Wolverhampton Wanderers did not want him to become cup-tied.
Larkin's loan spell has recently been extended by boss Jan Molby to a third month, although the 19-year-old has hinted that he would like to remain with Harriers until the end of the season.
The 19-year-old said: "I would love to stay for the rest of the season if Wolverhampton allow me to. I've told Jan and Dave Jones (Wolves manager) I want to stay, so it's up to them to try and sort something out now.
"In a strange kind of way it's nice to hear that Dave won't commit to a decision as to whether I can stay here for the remainder of the season. If he didn't rate me I'm sure he'd gladly let me go. It's a confidence booster."
There is a doubt about whether front-runner Drewe Broughton will be available to play tonight.
He was sent home on Saturday suffering from a bout of 'flu and Molby says it is 'touch and go' as to whether the former Peterborough United front-runner will have recovered in time to play.
Definitely missing again will be striker Ian Foster who sits out the second of a three match ban for being sent off in Harriers recent LDV Vans Trophy clash against Chesterfield at Saltergate.
Molby, meanwhile, wants his players to put Saturday's disappointing FA Cup exit behind them.
Kidderminster go into the match on the back of two impressive league wins over Bristol Rovers and Leyton Orient which has put them just five points off a play-off place.
Molby said: "We have to keep the momentum going. It's going to be a difficult, but they are another team that are in there in the table where we are.
"They have put out some good performances and then had disappointing ones, so they're very inconsistent. But they are a team that when they play they try and play some good football.
"Alan Buckley has completely turned the club around since he took over as manager so it will be a hard match which all away games are. But certainly our Leyton Orient result must give us some confidence going there."
Kidderminster (from): Brock, Stamps, Hinton, Williams, Clarkson, Bird, Bennett, Blake, Sall, Appleby, Henriksen, Larkin, Smith, Shilton, Murphy, Ducros, Corbett.
FORMCAST: Harriers will do well to earn a point with a 0-0 draw.
