Chris Whelpdale and Adam Marriott on comeback trail from injury

Boro hope to have Chris Whelpdale back in full training within a fortnight.

The winger is on his way back from a groin injury and although he has missed much of pre-season he is now resuming light training.

Adam Marriott could also return to light training in the next week.

The striker, who like Whelpdale joined the club last summer, has an ongoing knee problem and has not started a match for the club since January.
