Big Baz takes 'next step' to being back: 'See how his body reacts to the increased work-load'

Southend United striker Barry Corr has missed out on all of the club's tremendous start to the season so far, but a return to training could see a reserve team outing very soon!   Hurrah! Big Baz is back in training!   Shrimpers striker and last season's top scorer Barry Corr is back in training with the club.   The 21-goal man for the previous season has seen his team go top of the table without him dur to a long-term knee injury, and replacement Liam Dickinson top the scoring charts with six, though four of those have been spot-kicks.

But according to Blues boss Paul Sturrock, the tall Irishman is on his way back.

Sturrock told www.echo-news.co.uk: “It was fantastic to see Barry back out there in full training with everyone else again yesterday. We will now have to wait and see how his body reacts to the increased work-load before we decide what to do next with him. How he feels will dictate the next step but it’s brilliant news for us that he’s training again and also for himself as well, because it must have been a very frustrating time for him.”

It's a long time .

The striker will need to figure in the reserves before being fit enough for the first team.

But Sturrock was not willing to commit to when the Irishman would be back on the pitch.
