Marvin Elliott returns to training today after missing the first month of the season with a knee injury.

Last season's young player of the year is back at Abbots Leigh this morning, looking to put his early season misery behind him.

However, this evening's Combination Cup game at Southampton comes to soon for the Londoner.

The two-week international break offers some respite for some of the club's battered and bruised players.

Cole Skuse (foot) and Jamie McAllister (ankle) both limped off on Saturday against Queens Park Rangers in the 1-1 draw.

Both players have been diagnosed with bone bruising and should return to training later this week.

Jordan Walker is hoping to return from a leg injury soon, but Jamie McCombe (cheekbone) and Christian Ribeiro (knee) remain out longer term.
