BOSS Eddie Howe revealed his delight at Mark Molesley's injury boost and insisted Cherries would take their time with the midfielder's comeback bid.[LNB] Molesley received good news on Monday when his surgeon gave him the green light to step up his rehabilitation from the foot operation he underwent in April.[LNB] The 29-year-old former non-league star missed most of last season due to the persistent problem with his left foot, but he is now ready to hit the comeback trail.[LNB] He has come out of the air-cast boot that had been protecting the foot and will rebuild the strength in his leg before attempting to run.[LNB] Discussing the fans' favourite, Howe told the Echo: Moles is a top professional.[LNB] He's a very likeable lad and all the lads get on well with him.[LNB] He's got a really infectious personality and he's also a very good player, so we've missed him.[LNB] We have all felt desperately sorry for him he's been so eager to get back and there have been a couple of disappointments.[LNB] Hopefully, he's on the road to recovery now and we can take our time with him to get him right.[LNB] Cherries physio Steve Hard told the club's official website: We have been given the go-ahead to start his running, but we need to build up the muscles in his leg first and we want to take our time.[LNB] It is not a case of yes he can run, so he will. It's going to take a long time, so we are looking at September or October, but it could be longer.[LNB]
