JOSH Benson has been back in full training this week after his latest spell out of the squad with injury.

The midfielder, who has been plagued by injuries for years, has not been in any matchday squads throughout November.

Head coach Darrell Clarke said: “Hopefully we keep him fit over a substantial period of time and stop him having those niggles and strains which keep holding him back a bit.”

Goalkeeper Gaga Slonina is still out with a finger injury while Max Watters is also out. Clarke said: “Gaga is still further away. Max has stepped up rehab so we will see how it goes.”
