O'Connor has been sidelined with a groin injury since October while Phillips has been out with a hamstring problem.[LNB]Manager Alex McLeish told the club's official website: "Hopefully there's a light at the end of the tunnel with Garry O'Connor.[LNB]"A couple of weeks ago he was struggling a wee bit with his groin and he was still feeling it, he was restricted and a bit down.[LNB]"But he's seen a specialist since and he's had an injection and there's now a smile back on his face. He's joining us on the training ground on Friday.[LNB]"With Kevin, we're obviously cautious because he's had a hamstring injury. Whether it's a very small tear or not, it's never two weeks with a hamstring and we will make sure that he is 100% before we bring him back."[LNB][LNB]
