Dean Ashton on Comeback Trail

Some welcome good news has emerged from the West Ham camp today. Dean Ashton has finally had the plaster removed from his leg and is walking on it without any problems. The player says,

"To be able to walk freely again and come into the training ground is fantastic. I won't rush things - I want to come back as strong as I was pre-season."

However Aston is still not expected to be match fit before Christmas.
