MK Dons defender Ben Chorley has won high praise from manager Martin Allen for his return to action in the 2-1 win at Macclesfield Town last weekend.
The 23-year-old has been struggling with a thigh injury in the last few weeks, but returned at Moss Rose to held the Dons to a solid victory.
Allen told the Milton Keynes Citizen: "Ben came back into the team having only trained for two days and his fitness is quite good, but his football fitness is way behind everyone else's.
"I was delighted with how he acquitted himself in the match and he's done loads of extra training this week.
"It's a credit to Ben and the staff for all the long hours spent in the gym that he's back in the team."
