Bridge has been sidelined since limping off after just six minutes of the UEFA Cup third round, second leg tie against Malaga at Elland Road in December with a ruptured Achilles tendon.

The United striker was starting only his second game this season, having been out for almost two years with ankle and knee injuries.

However, he has now been given the all clear to step up his rehabilitation by joining in running sessions during training.
