Onouha on the way back

Some good news, and a timely reminder for those currently in possession of the starting positions of the quality we do possess in the defensive area:

Nedum Onuoha will begin his comeback from injury in earnest in Abu Dhabi on Thursday night.

The former England under 21 captain, who has been missing from the squad since the 4-2 win over Arsenal in September, had a gentle run out with the reserves in a friendly at the weekend and is ready to step up is bid to return to first team action.
