00:00Where are we at as regards potentially getting players back?

00:02I'm thinking Brogia, Chimitty, we've got a timeline on them at the moment.

00:05Is Branthwaite ready to return and take Lindstrom's back from illness?

00:08Yeah. James Garner, OK?

00:11Jimmy Garner, waiting on more news.

00:13Just a specialist view on a back injury, so wait on that.

00:17Brogia is getting on the edge of coming into training.

00:20He's doing loads of work with the sports science team, but not yet.

00:24Soft start for him and then and see where that goes.

00:26But hopeful that that will continue because he's making good progress.

00:30Chimitty is making progress, but obviously it's a very strange injury,

00:33which I mentioned about the tendon coming off the big toe.

00:37Very odd injury, but he is beginning to make progress,

00:40but he's still a number of weeks away, that's for sure.

00:42You've got a timeline on Tim Irobina as well?

00:46Well, looking at weeks, certainly weeks,

00:49because of the type of injury it is, a bony injury, obviously.

00:53So we've just got to wait for it.

00:54Selly is still in a boot at the moment, they don't use casts now,

00:57it's an actual boot that protects it.

01:00Just waiting on that to heal and then get back to training.

01:03But it is going to be a number of weeks still yet.

01:06I wanted to ask about Dele, just because we saw him in the boot room

01:08before we spoke to you a little bit earlier on.

01:10He seemed very smiley, so where's he at?

01:12Yeah, he's just getting back on the grass again.

01:15So building up again from another minor injury,

01:19but unfortunately it cost him a bit more time and he's just getting on.

01:22We're trying to get fit.
