BORO were today handed a major boost with the news that French U21 international Didier Digard is back at Rockliffe Park and should be in full training within a fortnight.
The midfielder returned from rehabilitation at the French national football academy in Clairfontaine this week and his currently being put through light fitness work with Boro's coaching staff.
Digard suffered a partial rupture to the quadriceps muscle in his left leg and a partial tear to his medial ligament on his right knee against Wigan on February 21.
His return for the final games of the season would be a huge shot in the arm for the squad as the relegation battle hots up.
Meanwhile, Adam Johnson has returned to light training after missing the Bolton game with an ankle problem.
It is hoped he will be in full training with his team-mates by Thursday and he could be available for Saturday's massive game against Hull City at the Riverside.
Johnson was in outstanding form for England U21s during their games against Norway and France last week.
Chris Riggott is also back in training after recovering from a medial knee ligament tear suffered in the defeat at Manchester City on February 7.
However, skipper Emanuel Pogatetz is out of the Hull game after injuring his knee and the tendon behind his knee during Saturday's defeat at Bolton.
