Rochdale forward Blair Sturrock is back in training after recovering from a torn hip muscle. The 24-year-old sustained the injury during his side's 3-1 victory at Torquay in January.
But Sturrock, who has hit six goals this season, is expected to make his comeback for the reserves on Wednesday.
"It has been a slow process for Blair," physio Andy Thorpe told the club's official website. "But I'm pleased to say he's back training with the team."
