He may be doing some light running - but that doesn't mean he will be fit to play soon.
If he is back for the last few games that will be a massive bonus - but no risks.

Some of you will laugh at that statement, but it's a coincidence how we have suddenly signed some players for big money in the summer after Vincent Tan rebranded us. We all know the rebrand has brought our club no financial benefits whatsoever, so I can't think of any other reason why Vincent Tan decided to allow Malky to sign players last summer, but not last January, apart from the fact he wanted us to fail last season in blue.
This January however, I believe Vincent Tan will back Malky with whatever Malky thinks is required to take us up, as I believe the rebrand and Premiership football will partially set us up for Vincent Tan to sell us on in the future, probably to a Chinese business who are mad on the colour red. Also, obviously, the more money Vincent Tan loans to us to sign players, the more money he will make from our club as we will have to one day pay him everything back, plus the extra 7% interest he is charging us. Part of me fears the more successful we are, the more Vincent Tan will vandalise our club. This is all just my opinion of course. But I think Malky will definitely be backed this month as it seems obvious Vincent Tan wants his "lucky red dragons" to get promoted this season.
