Lee Frecklington is set to meet a specialist next Tuesday to determine the extent of his shoulder injury.

The midfielder dislocated his right shoulder during City's final game of the 2007/08 season but is hopeful that his meeting with the specialist will be a positive one.

"Although I've still got my arm in a sling my shoulder is feeling a lot better and I've been able to use my right arm a little bit more," said Frecklington.

He added, "I can't drive at the moment but I'm hoping that when I see the specialist on Tuesday he'll give me some good news. Until the appointment there isn't much else I can do so we'll just have to wait and see."

Meanwhile, Lenell John-Lewis and Martin Pembleton are both progressing well with their respective injuries and are expected to be fit in time for when the first team return for pre-season training.
