Notts County assistant manager Richard Thomas has confirmed that goalkeeper Adam Collin has returned to full training.

The 33-year-old has been sidelined for two months after suffering ligament damage in October's 2-1 win over Barnet.

Collin limped off in the second half of the match after taking a blow to the knee and was replaced by Ross Fitzsimons, who has done an admirable job in between the sticks ever since.

However, Notts have been boosted by their first-choice keeper's return to fitness, although Thomas suggested that he won't be rushed back into action just yet.

β€œAdam is back to full training now,” Thomas told the Nottingham Post.

β€œWe are managing his load in the sessions when we are taking him out momentarily. We’ve just got to manage him back in now.

β€œIt’s aerobic fitness that’s important rather than the knee so much because fitness can fall off when you are out injured.

β€œIt’s just that side of it but he’s moving well. He looks like he’s never been away if I am honest. The lads are clearly pleased to have him back around the place so it’s all good.”
