Manager Karl Robinson will ease Aaron Wilbraham back into action when an MK Dons XI travel to Aylesbury on Friday evening.The striker has missed the last three friendlies with a mild back strain but Robinson is not worried about his lack of pre-season participation.Robinson, who is the youngster manager in the Football League, believes Wilbraham was one of the fittest players to return to training this summer and has high hopes for the 30-year-old."Alby's had a bit of a stiff back but he played 30 minutes behind closed doors at Dundee so he has had some match time," Robinson told the club's official website. "Along with Stephen Gleeson and Sam Baldock, he came back as one of the fittest players in the squad."If he'd come back unfit I'd be pushing him through these early games but he came back in great condition so I don't need to force the issue with him."Training on hard ground just left him with some stiffness in his back so we've wrapped him in cotton wool, as we have tried to do with all of them because the important thing is they're fit on August 7."
