LEON Legge is due to return to full training this morning to help ease boss Nicky Forster's defensive headache.

Brentford were left with no fit centre-halves at the club after Karleigh Osborne was taken to hospital with concussion following Monday's draw at Notts County.

Pim Balkestein has been ruled out for the rest of the season with an ankle problem, while Legge has been struggling with a groin injury.

However, the former Tonbridge Angels defender is set to join in sessions when his team-mates return to training today ahead of Saturday's clash with Southampton.
