Norwich City head coach Philippe Clement confirmed Pelle Mattsson is taking positive steps in his rehab and was back on the grass for the first time this week.
Clement also gave further updates on other players returning from injury: "There were no problems after the last game, some bits and bobs with some players but that is normal with the short turnaround but no massive things.
"(Amankwah) Forson is back training with the group and so is Jakov (Medić), so we get a little bit of competition with the group, not enough, but slowly players are coming back.
"With Forson, it needs to be the right time and the right minute, he needs to be strong and robust enough to take those minutes. It's a work in progress and it will take some time."
On the depth of squad with the current list of injuries, Clement said: "It impacts the team of course, how much to play, even if they are playing well because you need to think about the next game already.
"It's affecting the starting 11 as you need to think much more than when you have a fully fit group, but it is what it is.
"It started at the beginning of the season and we're now running behind. At the end of the season, it will be better, a lot of players are out until the end of the season.
"This week, one moment we were training and suddenly I hear all the team shouting 'Pelle, Pelle, Pelle!', so it was the first time he came outside to run with one of the physios.
"So, that's a positive, but it doesn't mean he will be training with the group next week. Everybody was really happy that he was back on the grass, which just shows the unity of the group."
The head coach also confirmed that Gabriel Forsyth was still working on his rehab and that the club were pleased to still have Elliot Myles in the building.
"We have had really good talks with Elliot, we wanted to keep him here. The decision was made with the academy staff and we discussed what is best for Elliot at the moment.
"He is working really well but he still needs to learn a lot to be ready to play in the Championship. All staff are working hard to make those steps. He's a creative player, so he can play as a 10 and a winger.
"He is somebody with a lot of quality on the ball, but to be a professional Championship player you need to have a lot of work without the ball and those are the steps he needs to make."
Earlier this week, the club announced the departure of academy player Ajay Tavares who had joined La Liga side Barcelona.
"You don't have any means to tie a player down at that age in the UK. He also has a Portuguese passport, so that makes it much easier for foreign teams to bring him in and they can give contracts that we cannot give because he is too young here.
"That's why it is really difficult to keep players like him here. Everybody can be really proud; the academy, Ajay and his family. It's important work that's been done here and everybody here at the club wishes him the best."
Following on from the Canaries' 2-1 defeat to Birmingham City last weekend, Clement praised his side for certain aspects of the game.
"I want to be honest with the team about games post-match; it's necessary to not only speak about the good things but also the things that we were not happy about and they realised that.
"It's frustrating if you go back to that game, where you have 63 per cent ball possession against a team really good on the ball.
"We had more shots on target than them, we had several really good finishes but there was a really good goalkeeper on the other side.
"My counterpart said their goalkeeper won the game, without him it would have been a different score. We didn't reward ourselves in the first 20 minutes.
"We gave Birmingham a lot of belief, making mistakes we hadn't in the last few games, so it was a hard lesson."
City's goal in the second half came through captain Kenny McLean, who scored his first goal at Carrow Road for four years.
"You need role models in your dressing room and to have experienced guys who still show hunger and desire to improve and Kenny is that kind of person.
"I want more goals from our midfielders; we have seen wingers and full-backs scoring more goals, so I have challenged the midfielders around that.
"I hope Kenny has a lot more goals this season."
Norwich City host struggling side Sheffield Wednesday tomorrow evening, whose relegation to League One was confirmed last week.
"I'm focused on Norwich and we need all our energy for that, as we still have a to to do here.
"It's always a pity to see teams going down with a lot of history but that is also British football, as there are a lot of clubs with history and there are not many spots in the spotlight.
"It's a hard battle to stay there. I'm really happy that we have good people behind the club pushing us in the right direction.
"I don't think anybody can predict how the feeling is there, who is going to play and in what position, so it makes it difficult.
"I try to control the controllable; this is not controllable, so like normal, we are going to focus on ourselves. That's been our strength in the last few months, putting the standards high for ourselves.
"It would be the biggest mistake we can make (to underestimate them) because they have nothing to lose.
"I count on big support from the fans because it is about the three points and these three points are really important, but the same as the three points against Coventry. Let's keep this synergy going."
