Roy Hodgson has confirmed that his squad is almost at full strength for the final few games of the season, revealing that Nathan Ferguson is preparing to return to training.
Speaking in his pre-Sheffield United press conference, the manager said: "Strange enough at this late stage of the season we seem to be recovering a lot of players.
"At the moment those injured and unavailable are Mamadou Sakho, Connor Wickham and Nathan Ferguson, who has made big progress in actual fact and will be training with the team at the beginning of next week.
"Even he at the end of the season has managed to get fit, which is very positive – but particularly for him because it’s been such a miserable 18 months for the young lad.
