United leading scorer James Beattie is hoping to be back in the thick of the action in the near future and plans to return to training as early as next Monday.
Beattie has been sidelined since Boxing Day with a grade one medial ligament strain in his left knee, but the marksman says he is edging ever closer to a return:
"The knee is feeling a lot better and I have been doing plenty of rehabilitation in the gym to keep my fitness levels up. It's a time consuming injury and there is nothing you can do to speed up the healing process."
"I am confident of returning to full training early next week, although I don't want to rush back and put myself out for another month as that will do nobody any favours."
The former Everton man admits he doesn't enjoy a viewing role, although he insists he has given the lads his full backing throughout his continued absence:
"I have had a similar injury before so I know what it is like. I am not a good watcher but you have to accept things and hope the lads get some good results."
