Cherries: Eddie boosted by Molesley news
BOSS Eddie Howe revealed his delight at Mark Molesley's injury boost and insisted Cherries would take their time with the midfielder's comeback bid. Molesley received good news on Monday when his surgeon gave him the green light to step up his rehabilitation from the foot operation he underwent in April. The 29-year-old former non-league star missed most of last season due to the persistent problem with his left foot, but he is now ready to hit the comeback trail. He has come out of the air-cast boot that had been protecting the foot and will rebuild the strength in his leg before attempting to run. Discussing the fans' favourite, Howe told the Echo: Moles is a top professional. He's a very likeable lad and all the lads get on well with him. He's got a really infectious personality and he's also a very good player, so we've missed him. We have all felt desperately sorry for him he's been so eager to get back and there have been a couple of disappointments. Hopefully, he's on the road to recovery now and we can take our time with him to get him right. Cherries physio Steve Hard told the club's official website: We have been given the go-ahead to start his running, but we need to build up the muscles in his leg first and we want to take our time. It is not a case of yes he can run, so he will. It's going to take a long time, so we are looking at September or October, but it could be longer.
