FIT-AGAIN Dru Yearwood is being put through his own pre-season programme at Southend United.

The Shrimpers midfielder has been unable to figure so far during the current campaign due to a hamstring problem.

But the 18-year-old is now back in full training and is being put through his paces by the club’s fitness staff.

“I’m having what I would describe as my own pre-season at the moment,” said Yearwood.

“I’m buzzing about it because it’s been a long time coming and I’m so happy to be back out there.

“I hope to be back playing very soon and I’m close to that now but I don’t know when exactly it will be because we have to be sensible. We don’t want the injury to reoccur but I’m feeling good again.”
