Emanuel Pogatetz was carried off with a serious head injury back in March

Pogatetz has been out since March when he suffered a broken nose and fractured a bone near the upper jaw during the Uefa Cup first leg defeat to Basle.

Southgate told the Gazette: "Manu has been working hard during the summer.

"We've got to get him to a level when he won't break down. He will be able to join in with pretty much everything."
