Cooper boost following his return to training

The highly-rated 23-year-old goalkeeper has not played a game since he suffered a serious knee injury in the away League One game against Sheffield Wednesday in early February, when he suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament.

Although Cooper has returned to full training, after previously working away from the main group during the final stages of his rehabilitation, it could be another month before he is ready to compete for a first-team spot with current first-choice Conor Hazard and Callum Burton.

Manager Steven Schumacher said at a Home Park Press conference: “Coops has trained with us since Monday. He’s back doing the full contact stuff, so that’s a real bonus.

“Conor Hazard was away for the first few days of this week with international duty, so having Michael and Callum in between the sticks was really good.
