returning to fitness

Yeovil Town manager Terry Skiverton has admitted that contention in the Glovers goal will increase over the coming weeks.

John Sullivan began the season as Yeovil's outright number one goalkeeper, but a lengthy injury has meant that loanee Stephen Henderson has taken over the position over recent weeks.

But Sullivan has returned to training and is likely to be back to full fitness soon creating healthy competition.

The issue Skiverton has is that Yeovil have no formal reserve team, meaning much needed games for John Sullivan will be hard to come by.

Speaking to BBC Radio Somerset Skiverton spoke of the goalkeeping situation:

"John is not quite ready yet. He's back training, but he needs a game under his belt. But as you can see from Stephen (Henderson) his distribution with his feet is outstanding and he's been excellent for us. We've got two good keepers at the moment, so once John is back we'll have a good bit of competition."
