Mark Phillips is expected to be back in training for Southend United today
BLUES defender Mark Phillips is expected to be back in training today.
The 31-year-old centre-back has missed his side’s last three games with a groin injury.
But Shrimpers boss Phil Brown has confirmed Phillips is now closing in on a return.
“Mark came through a fitness test before the game at Wycombe on Saturday and hopefully he’ll be back training today,” said Brown.
