Connolly fitness boost for Saints

The striker, who has scored two in two games since signing for Saints at the beginning of the month, picked up an elbow injury in the win against MK Dons.But club medical chief Mo Gimpel is confident Connolly will be fit for the upcoming trip to Leyton Orient.He told the club's official website: "The good news is that the x-ray proved that nothing was broken, and although it looked quite a nasty one at the time, he is just suffering from a bruised elbow joint."Further good news for Saints is that veteran full-back Graeme Murty, who has been out since August with knee ligament damage, could make his comeback in next week's Johnstone's Paint Trophy tie against Charlton.However, it will be at least a month before fellow defender Lee Molyneux recovers from his back injury.
