Winston Reid has resumed training at Chadwell Heath with the first team today.

He suffered an injury during training which led to the initial rushed move to Rush Green. It seems slightly ironic that he returns the same week the first team return to Chadwell Heath and those ‘rock hard’ pitches.

At the time Jack Sullivan tweeted out  “Very bad news… Reid Injured in training 4-6 weeks with hamstring. But some players will return faster than anticipated due to hard work”

Reid has made twelve appearances after suffering a hip injury earlier this season.

He will find it extremely difficult to automatically regain his place in the first team with Collins and Ogbonna forming such an effective partnership in the heart of defence.
