David Connolly has returned to full training for Wimbledon for the first time this season following a knee injury.

The striker has been sidelined with knee ligament damage since suffering a knock in pre-season.

But Connolly gave manager Stuart Murdoch a boost with a return to health this week.

Murdoch said: "David looks as though he's never been away. We're very pleased to have him back. "It was a big blow to lose our top scorer before the season had even started."
