Ethan Erhahon was pleased to get back out on the pitch for the Imps as he helped his side claim a point at Exeter on Saturday.
The Scottish midfielder came off the bench at half-time for his first appearance since the 2-1 win over Stockport County three weeks' ago.
He said: "I was buzzing to get back out there, and the leg felt good. I don't like sitting inside so it was just nice to be with the lads again
"I've had a good rest with three weeks' out but it has been frustrating, so it was nice and exciting to be back with the squad and get back on and get involved."
Erhahon impressed in Devon, helping his side control much of the second half.
He added: "We had more control in the second half and more box entries, if we'd scored one we have the belief that we'd have then held out.
"We know it's a tough place to come, as others have come here and suffered defeats recently. We're a bit disappointed not to have taken three points after creating some good chances, but that does show how far we've come."
