Defensive pair back in training

2:43pm Thursday 7th February 2013 in Sport By Andy Carswell

GARY Doherty and Leon Johnson both returned to full training this week to boost Gareth Ainsworth's squad.

Club captain Doherty has been out since November with a back complaint that required an operation, while Johnson played through the pain barrier after originally picking up a knock at Port Vale.

He hasn't played since December after hurting his knee against Bristol Rovers.

A series of injuries left the Wanderers squad severely stretched and Ainsworth is glad to finally have some options.

He said: "[Physio] Theo Farley's the one who's going to have the biggest smile on his face because he's had a lot to put up with. There were 12 first team players out at one stage and he was feeling the pressure. I think he's got two now so his job becomes a lot easier."
