REJUVENATED York City Knights have reported a clean bill of health with just one training session to go before they take on National League Two whipping boys Gateshead Thunder.

Skipper Lee Jackson will be back in action after recovering from the dead leg he picked up against Sheffield Eagles, and Simon Friend's persistent shoulder problem has also shown significant problem.

Dean Andrews and Rich Wilson were two of the walking wounded from last Sunday's triumph, but Wilson has had treatment on his mild calf strain and Andrews has shown no ill-effects from a head-knock that cut his debut short.

Coach Richard Agar said: "We have got a clean bill of health, which is the first time in a while. So unless we have any mishaps in training, we will be at full strength.

"Hopefully we can rediscover some more momentum and carry that into the match on Sunday. This without a doubt will be a big boost."
