Dundee United striker Francisco Sandaza is finally closing in on a first appearance of the season after treatment in Spain to boost his recovery from double hernia surgery.

The 25-year-old has been unable to feature for the Terrors so far this term, but boss Peter Houston is hopeful of having Sandaza available again in the near future.

He told the Press & Journal: "Fran was over in Spain last week. He's come back feeling much better so has done some work with our physio here.

"I spoke to him today and he's hoping to be able to step it up next week and get back involved with the rest of the squad.

"We'll wait and see how he gets on. It would be great to get him involved again because it has been a hard time for him.

"He's over here to play football, so has been frustrated at not being able to take part, but hopefully there's some light at the end of the tunnel now for him."
