Teenage midfielder Andre Dozzell has taken the next step as he continues his recovery from a season-ending knee injury.
The youngster started the Blues’ opening-day clash with Birmingham but saw his season end just 50 minutes later after suffering a cruciate knee ligament injury.
First team physio Alex Chapman has regularly posted videos documenting Dozzell’s recovery, with the latest showing the young midfielder running on the grass for the first time at Town’s Playford Road training base.
Speaking in December, Dozzell was full of praise for the club’s medical staff: “The physios [Matt Byard and Chapman] have been unbelievable. I have to thank them for all the time and effort they’ve given me,” he said.

“They set me goals and know exactly what I should be doing to prevent any injuries during rehab.
“I listen to them as they’re the experts and right now my recovery is going well.
