Sale Sharks winger Mark Cueto is closing in on full fitness and is hoping to play a big part in the end-of-season run-in.
The England star has had a troubled season with groin and hamstring injuries limiting his number of games for both club and country.
However, Cueto is working hard and getting close to regaining top fitness, when he hopes to have a big impact for Philippe Saint Andre's side.
As the Sharks look to grab a place in the Guinness Premiership play-offs, the return of Cueto could be a big boost to their prospects.
Cueto says he has endured an up-and-down season so far with injuries having a serious impact on him.
Rollercoaster
"It's been a rollercoaster season for me, starting with me injuring my groin in an England warm up, to playing in the World Cup Final and then when I returned to Sale Sharks I have missed a few games with injury," said Cueto.
"[My hamstring] went in the last ten minutes of the game at Saracens and as we only had a five day turn around to the Gloucester game, I was given extra time to recover."
Most of the Sale Sharks players are enjoying a few days off at the moment, but Cueto is on the training ground working hard to be fully fit.
"I am training every day at the moment down at Carrington, we have some massive games coming up, starting with Bath at home next Friday [Match 28] and it's a game we have to win to help us achieve our target of a top four finish."
