Notts County midfielder Jim O'Brien is eagerly anticipating his return from injury and is hopeful that he will be "firing on all cylinders".
The Scotsman has been out of action since September with a broken arm but is expected to play at Chesterfield in the FA Trophy at the weekend.
Magpies boss Neal Ardley has confirmed the former Bradford player is in contention to start the game as the club looks to secure their passage through to the second round.
And O'Brien cannot wait to be involved again especially as the midfielder was in terrific form prior to the horror injury he suffered in a 2-1 defeat to Bromley which needed surgery.
“I’m massively looking forward to it,” he said.
“It’s great to finish training on a Thursday and have a game to look ahead to on the Saturday.
“I’ve been buzzing to be back in training with the boys – that’s the thing you miss the most when you’re injured.
“The most frustrating part is being a spectator when the team isn’t doing well.
"You want to help them as much as possible so it’s difficult to not contribute.
“I’m really looking forward to coming back and getting some minutes in, so hopefully I’ll be firing on all cylinders on Saturday.”
