United expect to be able to involve Neil Sullivan in pre-season training for the first time next week.
The keeper underwent a shoulder operation in the summer and has since made an excellent recovery. He is now considered fit enough to be able to join in a full session with the first team when they return from their two game pre-season tour of Norway.
Sullivan, last season's Player of The Year, will have more competition this season after manager Kevin Blackwell recently bolstered his goalkeeping department with the acquisition of highly experienced stopper Ian Bennett on a free transfer from Birmingham City.
Meanwhile, another absentee from the tour to Norway, Steve Stone, is reported to be recovering well from a tear on his achilles, although as yet no date has been put on his expected return.
