Draper on his injury

Mark Draper is almost back into first team contention after his recent injury problems. Draper said: "The knee is feeling a lot better so I am hoping to go into light training in the next few days.

"Up to a week ago I was still getting pain but suddenly it has started to improve and this is the best it has felt for a long time.

"I have been running every day for the last five or six weeks which is not a lot of fun but it has kept my fitness levels up.

"I have done a bit of ball work and some checking and a few one-on-ones but no real contact stuff and I cannot wait to get back to full training.

"Hopefully I will be ready for some sort of training next week."
