Striker Corr set to make comeback

Swindon striker Barry Corr could return to first-team action this weekend after six months out with a shoulder injury.

The Irishman, 23, has been named in the reserve team to face Yeovil on Tuesday and may play against Leeds on Saturday.

Assistant boss Dave Byrne told BBC Radio Swindon: "He's looking fitter, stronger and is getting no twinges from the shoulder.

"He's on schedule and the one thing with Barry is he's so keen and eager to get in and around the first team."

Byrne was also full of praise for the way the Corr has avoided any disappointments in his comeback by not setting himself a specific date to return.

"He's taken good advice. We said to him 'don't make any game a target because if you come to that game and you don't hit it, there's the risk of disappointment,' so he hasn't put any game in as his target," Byrne said.

Meanwhile Swindon have let young defender Tom Evans go on trial at Lincoln City, with a view to joining the League Two side on loan.
