Phil Parkinson will resist the open loan window because of City’s clean bill of health.
Football League clubs can start borrowing players again from tomorrow when the emergency system restarts for the next six weeks.
But with the Valley Parade sick bay emptying, Parkin-son sees no immediate need for any more short-term replacements.
Simon Ramsden is the only casualty currently out of the equation and the City boss is hoping for good news when the defender presents his broken toe to the specialist again on Thursday.
But Kyel Reid and Luke Oliver are both back in the mix – and would have played against Crawley – and skipper Michael Flynn is also pushing for his first outing since December 16.
Parkinson said: “I’m not looking at the moment because we’re okay. We’re just working hard this week to get the ones who have been injured up to speed.
“Reidy and Olly will have another good physical week and Flynny’s getting closer too.
“It’s good to have a clean slate again, especially if we can get Rammers back soon. We’ve got a lot of games coming up in the next month so we’ll need to use the squad.”
City’s youngsters could be the only loan departures. Darren Stephenson recently joined Stocksbridge PS in the Evo-Stik League and Dominic Rowe is expected to go out on another temporary spell after a previous stint with Barrow.
Dean Overson and Andrew Burns are also being targeted for loan experience.
Parkinson added: “They’re all available to go but I don’t see any others apart from those four. The window is obviously available now in case things change but at present there’s not going to be much happening.”
Meanwhile, the wintry weather was expected to rule out a behind-closed-doors game against Barnsley today.

After over a decade of dross with each season getting progressively worse than the one before, it doesn't take a genius to work out why some a disgruntled.

I agree with KnightMcCall. Some supporters have such a negative mindset that it would be easier for them to escape a black hole than their natural/or nurtured negativity. They are incapable of recognising and acknowledging individuals positive efforts and genuine commitment to improving the Clubs they support but can spot and magnify an imperfect decision or human error from the dark side of the moon.

'Emergency Loans' are being outlawed by FIFA starting with the 2014/15 season. Therefore, in thory at least, it looks like Managers will be more likely to play some of their younger players because they wont be able to bring in players from other Clubs on an emergency loan basis (a loan that lasts from 28 to 93 days to cover injuries). So if are the believing type, and your prayers are answered, and the City squad is devastated with injuries -AGAIN- then (in theory) the younger players get some 1st Team experience. BUT, if that rule was in place at this moment in time it would have probably prevented Rowe, Stephenson, Overson and Burns from getting loaned out. As well as this, my understanding is, Clubs will only be able to do 'long-term' loans which have to commence before the 31st of December and run until the end of the season and players can not be brought back to the lending Club whilst still at the ORIGINAL 'borrowing' Club. What sort of effect, if any, will this have on the DS strategy? And what realistic chance is there of the young players getting a game with the Club that owns them under that rule, especially, if you can't recall your young players at the back-end of the season when you are floating around in the doldrums and could safely give the youngsters a run of games in the 1st eleven? . If I have misunderstood how this ruling for 2014 then please let me know somebody. SHAUN!!!!!!!, whats your thoughts on this?

The net result being that the 'DS' types would be stuck with only the odd reserve game to play in. This would not meet the existing aim of developing the DS types by playing them in tough, competitive, competition football that is intended to stretch them but not have them making too big a jump in quality in too soon a time for their existing experience and qualities.

In terms of your post, I would just like to comment on one part (for now);
"BUT, if that rule was in place at this moment in time it would have probably prevented Rowe, Stephenson, Overson and Burns from getting loaned out". Although this is very true, the reality is that, had the ruling already been in place, the likes of Rowe and Burns, in particular, would have featured in OUR first team instead of being loaned out. For example, instead of signing Kozluk to cover Ramsden's injury, Burns would have been an option and instead of the number of wingers signed over the last month, Rowe would surely have been given a run. No?
