Chris Makin is on his way back towards full training due after his groin problem. Last week the defender saw a specialist who gave him the good news that an operation was not required.

Makin's injury was diagnosed as a muscle tear at the front of the groin.

The defender will be back in full training in ten days time. Makin is currently doing some running, but only in a straight line in order to avoid aggravating the injury.

Nearer recovery from injury are Mark Venus and Alun Armstrong, both of whom are likely to be in the squad for Sunday's derby against Norwich.
