Injury latest from the Lamex
JOEL Byrom should return to full training this week.
The Boro midfielder, whose last start for the club was on September 9, was initially ruled out of action with an eye injury but after making the bench twice without getting on the pitch in the middle of November he sustained an injury to the bone and tendons in the top of his foot.
The 24-year-old is now running pain free, and should be back in match contention in the next fortnight.
Darren Murphy continues to make progress and has begun jogging and building up the strength in his ankle and is expected to return to full training in January, whilst Lee Boylan is also expected back after the turn of the year as he works his way back from a torn calf injury.
