SOUTHEND United winger Terrell Egbri is still working his way back to full fitness.
The 19-year-old has yet to feature for the Shrimpers in 2021 after suffering a hamstring injury.
And Blues boss Mark Molesley is hopeful Egbri will soon be back in training.
"Terrell is back out on the grass but the injury is more complicated than we first thought," said Molesley.
"It’s probably because he’s such a powerful and hardworking player.
"He’s not had many injuries and him and his own boidy are probably working out how to deal with this one.
"It’s all new to him bit he’s close to returning to training.
"We can’t take any shortcuts with him and we will have to build him back up.
"But we’re hoping next week he will be able to join in with the team more in training."
