Midfield talisman Jason Kennedy is on the brink of a return for Carlisle United as the Blues desperately seek an end to their recent woes.

The top scorer is understood to be under consideration for a comeback at Yeovil tomorrow where Keith Curle's team will be seeking a first win and goal in eight games.

Kennedy, out since late January after groin surgery, has trained with the squad this week and could come into the reckoning for the trip to Huish Park.

Last weekend manager Curle insisted his decision on the 11-goal man would take into consideration United's run of games in the next two weeks.

Curle wants to ensure the 30-year-old can play as much part as possible in the Blues' run-in as they try and salvage their play-off hopes.

If he opts not to risk Kennedy in Somerset it will be with next weekend's home clash with Notts County in mind and also two games in the space of four days over Easter weekend.

Kennedy, one of United's most influential players this season, has been sorely missed since he limped out of the January 28 draw with Barnet.

He has missed the following 11 games, with United currently on a club record 686-minute spell since registering a goal.

Experienced frontman Jabo Ibehre is also understood to be close to a return and Curle will be relieved that at least some of his senior figures are close to rejoining the fray.

It comes as Shaun Miller begins a four-match suspension after his red card in last Saturday's defeat to Crewe, while Nicky Adams (hamstring) is set to miss out tomorrow.

Midfielder James Bailey returns from his three-match ban, while Curle could draft new signings Samir Nabi and Ben Tomlinson into the squad.

United received international clearance from the Indian football authorities for former West Brom midfielder Nabi this week. Ex-Blues favourite Francois Zoko will be involved for Yeovil.

Curle's eighth-placed side have slipped outside the play-off places on goal difference with seven games remaining but the manager has insisted he still has the support of the dressing room at Brunton Park.

Off the field, meanwhile, United are finally expected to file their 2015/16 accounts today.

The figures will show the Blues' finances from a period when they sold star players Brad Potts and Kyle Dempsey and also enjoyed two bumper cup ties against Liverpool and Everton.

They will also demonstrate how much United have repaid outstanding directors' loans, after the previous year's accounts showed debt to chairman Andrew Jenkins was £980,000 and to his firm Pioneer £800,750.

Fans will also be intrigued as to whether the notes accompanying the accounts make any reference to the recent loan arrangement with Edinburgh Woollen Mill, headed by Cumbria's richest man Philip Day.

Details on that deal remain scarce, while the 650-day overseas "billionaire" saga, which ended in late February, may also be addressed.

Chief executive Nigel Clibbens said this week that the loss of paper accounting records in the December 2015 floods was the reason the club was filing its accounts later than in previous years.

Regarding United's finances, Clibbens has insisted ownership "succession" remains at the top of the club's agenda.

He also accepted that this will remain an "issue" for some fans until it is resolved.

Clibbens added: "I think the relationship with EWM might change perceptions of some people as to what the club's about. It is a positive change for the club. That's a step forward.

"But there's no doubt that there's a lot more to do. While ever the succession in ownership hasn't been dealt with, that's going to continue to be an issue. It features right at the top of the agenda for everybody."

United's youth team are at home to Preston tomorrow at Creighton, kick-off 11am.
