Green has made 85 League Two appearances for Lincoln City

Lincoln City defender Paul Green says he is pleased to be back in the side after an eight-month lay-off.

Green, 22, featured in the Imps' league win over Chesterfield and the FA Cup defeat by Bolton after having surgery on a groin problem in the summer.

He told BBC Lincolnshire: "It's been hard watching the boys play because I wanted to be out there with them.

"In the last 20 minutes of my first game back I felt tired but the more I play, the fitter I'll get."

Green's return to the Lincoln side has seen manager Chris Sutton push Cian Hughton, who had been playing at full-back, into a more advanced position on the right side of midfield.

He said: "It's gone really well, I think we've shown in the two games that we work quite well together and have a good understanding."
