Willo may return on Boxing Day

Hereford United's young striker Andy Williams is back in training after his bout of tonsilities.

However manager Graham Turner is said to be considering leaving him out of the squad for tomorrow's game at Notts County for him to be fully fit to take part in the Boxing Day fixture against Bristol Rovers.

Williams is said to have lost nine pounds in weight. Recently Stuart Fleetwood, another of Hereford's young strikers, contacted a virus which resulted in him losing around a stone in weight.

As regards the rest of the squad Turner will only be without Dean Beckwith, but will miss the experience of John Eustace and Neil MacKenzie who have returned to their respective clubs.

"It doesn't leave me short in terms of numbers but a little experience has gone through the door," Turner told the Worcester News.

"But Luke Webb and Andy Ferrell both did exceptionally well in the FA Cup game against Port Vale and got goals so I have no qualms about putting them in."
