Eirik Due Back Soon

Last updated : 15 December 2003 By Kevin Markey
The Norway international played in the pre-season fixture against York City, scoring in a 1-1 draw, but has not featured since due to an injury that flared up after he played for the national team last summer.

Eddie Gray said: "He's a long way ahead of schedule, so we're actually having to keep him back. He's worked extremely hard.

"He's training now, but not with the first team yet. He's hardly trained with the ball, but I'm hoping he will join us in a week's time.

"The midfield we've got is working very well. As soon as Eirik is fit he must prove he is good enough to make the team."
