SOUTHEND United striker Rhys Murphy is back in training today.
Murphy has been out since injuring his knee against Yeovil Town in January.

"Rhys is back training today on the grass but because he’s been out for so long we’re trying to build him up as much as we can," said Maher.

"He will be training with us today."
