Midfielder fitness boost for Vale
Port Vale have announced that midfielder Michael O’Connor has come through his first training session since being injured in the summer.
O’Connor, last season’s player of the year, has missed the start of the season along with goalkeeper Chris Neal and his return would clearly boost the Valiants.
Ironically, Vale are well-stocked in central midfield with Anthony Grant, Sam Foley and loanee Jak McCourt all available to Rob Page.
