Everton FC young stars Dan Gosling and Jack Rodwell back in training

THE young heroes of Everton's fourth round FA Cup victory over Liverpool last season are poised to return for the same stage of the competition on Saturday.Dan Gosling and Jack Rodwell will both resume full training today, and could be included in the squad for the cup clash with Birmingham at the weekend.The pair have been suffering with similar hamstring problems, both picked up during Europa league games in December.Gosling hobbled off on December 2 against AEK Athens, and Rodwell has been missing since the BATE game on December 17.The friends have worked together to speed their recovery during rehabilitation at Finch Farm.Now Gosling, who scored the dramatic stoppage time goal which knocked Liverpool out of the cup last year, is hoping he can be involved against Alex McLeish's side.The 19-year-old said: 'I hope to be back in training today and I'll see how it is. If we're in with a shout for the squad on Saturday then so be it. But if not, then the following week I'll just try and push on and see where it takes us.'It's been six and a half weeks now. The estimated time out was a minimum of six so I'm on track.'
