He said ahead of the league game against Newcastle United.

I really hope so, he’s doing really well, he has been around some players on the pitch and we are going to start to do some bits with us in the next week or so. Then we need to see how that evolves, his confidence levels, his fitness levels and hopefully then the answer is yes.”
