Fuller has been out since the end of November having picked up the injury in Preston's 2-1 win at Coventry.

Fuller was on fire for the Lilywhites at the time and has been missed ever since , Craig Brown speaking to the Lancashire Evening Post said "Ricardo is making terrific progress and there's a growing chance he could be ready for August."

"It is all gym work at the moment, building up the muscle again, but we should see him back in light training with us about a month from now."

"Obviously, there would be no ball work for a few months, but just to see Ricardo out on the training pitch again would be a massive boost for the whole squad." Brown added
