Colchester United midfielder Louis Dunne has moved one step closer to returning to action, as he joins the U's U23s squad for their trip to Coventry City on Monday lunchtime.
Louis, who injured his anterior cruciate ligament in training at the start of the year, will travel to the game at the Ricoh Arena.
And it is hoped he will play some part in the match as the U's look to bounce back from their Premier League Cup defeat to Reading.
U's: Ross, Kensdale, Forino, Anderson, Kazeem, Chilvers, Cornish, Jones, Charles, McKeown, Birse, Hamilton, Hallett, Sims, Agboola, Dunne
