Back on grass

Janelt (foot) has started to train on grass, according to manager Keith Andrews. "They're doing well. I've just walked past all three of them, they've been doing a session separate from the group. They're back on the grass and making good progress. They've all got slightly different timeframes as to when they'll be back, but they won't be available for Monday."

Analysis: Janelt is back in training this week, although it is still limited, working with a group on injured players on grass. This does give hope that a return is nearing, but he still needs to return to team training, leaving a return date up in the air. The hope will be to recover him for the last few matches of the season, a starting midfielder when he is fit.

Still in need of time

Janelt (foot) is hopeful to return this season but is still weeks away, according to manager Keith Andrews. "Vitaly just isn't ready right now, we'll see... we've got five or six weeks left of the season, and hopefully [he] can play a part."

Analysis: Janelt is still working on a return and is not yet an option, with the midfielder seemingly trending towards a return in May. Unfortunately for the club, this continues a rough absence for them, as they have been without a starting midfielder for over a month, trending towards two. More should come in the next few weeks on his status, likely to eye a return near the start of May.
