Aitor Karanka has welcomed Alex Baptiste and Damia back to the training ground as the duo look to step up their recovery after long-term injuries.









Alex Baptiste and Damia are back in training," confirmed Karanka.





"Alex is an amazing kid. When you look at his face you can see how much he is enjoying it.





"He knows the league so it's really important. He's not the type of player who need to settle in.





"He's training really well and they are both good to have around again.





"The next thing is for them to play with Under-21s and to get a game. They just need to get fit and play games."
