Steve Tilson is keen to keep Theo Robinson at Roots Hall

Southend United manager Steve Tilson says he has yet to talk to on-loan striker Theo Robinson about his future at Roots Hall.

The 20-year-old is on loan from Watford and has bagged seven league goals for the Blues this season.

Tilson told BBC Essex Robinson's partnership up front with Lee Barnard has worked very successfully.

"Robinson has done well for us and we'll wait and see what happens," said the Shrimpers boss.

The Southend boss also revealed that both James Walker and Anthony Grant have resumed training.

Striker Walker has been out since January with a hamstring, while midfielder Grant picked up a knock during Good Friday's 2-0 home defeat by MK Dons.

Southend take on title-chasing Leicester at the weekend.

Tilson commented: "It'll be a fantastic test for us they've been top of the league all season."
