More positive Portsmouth injury news for ex-Middlesbrough and Shrewsbury midfielder Bryn Morris
Bryn Morris has been pencilled in for a return to full training this week.
The Pompey midfielder hasn’t made a single appearance this season, having been troubled by an abdomen complaint.
He underwent surgery in Germany last October, although that proved unsuccessful.
Morris has subsequently undertaken a gruelling rehabilitation programme set by a Harley Street abdominal specialist.
It’s been paying dividends and the former England youth captain returned to working with a football earlier this month.
Now it’s time to step up his comeback and he will be reintegrated with his Blues team-mates.
If that all goes well, then Kenny Jackett is hoping to organise a reserve game for Morris in a bid to edge him closer to first-team availability.
The Pompey boss said: ‘Bryn should be back training this week, I would think.
‘He’s on the grass and has been doing everything. He looks fit, to be honest, and is very close to full training.
‘Maybe we’ll have to arrange a game for him to see if the injury is okay, but I think he’ll get back to fitness pretty quickly.
‘It’ll be a reserve game or in-house.’
Morris has scored one goal in eight appearances since arriving at Fratton Park from Shrewsbury for an undisclosed fee in January 2019.
