Anti-inflammatory injection is latest step for Harry Smith on long route back to full fitness

There is still no firm expectation of when he will be able to resume full training, let alone be involved on matchdays for the Robins. Manager Ian Holloway said that the lengthy absence continues to impact Smith psychologically as well as physically.

Harry Smith has had an anti-inflammatory injection in his troublesome knee as the Swindon Town striker looks to take a step towards a return to full training.

Smith has not featured for Town since August last year, after suffering a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament during a game against Barnet.

Swindon handed the striker a contract extension in the summer, with the initial aspiration of him being available to manager Ian Holloway from late summer or early autumn.

However, while Smith is now mobile, he continues to experience significant pain, which has restricted his rehabilitation and delayed his recovery.
