York midfielder Emmanuel Panther has started light training after undergoing cartilage surgery ten days ago, and is targeting the match at Edgar Street on December 10th for a return to the first team.
Without Panther, a summer signing from Partick Thistle, York have collected just one point from four matches and have dropped from second to sixth. Manager Billy McEwan is planning to bring a loan signing in as cover before Thursdays deadline, with the likely target being Grimsby's Terry Barwick after McEwan finished his interest in Barwick's team mate Tony Crane after seeing the player in a reserve match.
