Injured attacker set to hand Rotherham United a boost
He is poised to re-join his teammates at Roundwood.
Missing man Marvin Kaleta could be back in the selection frame by the time Rotherham United return to action after the international break.
The winger has been forced to sit out the last seven matches with the latest in a long line of issues since his move to AESSEAL New York Stadium in the summer of 2025.
But he has now resumed outside work and is poised to re-join his teammates at Roundwood at some stage this week.
"He's been doing some running," said boss Alex Bruce on Thursday. "He's not back in full training yet. He should be in the next few days."
Kaleta was beset by fitness problems in his first year at New York following his free transfer from Wolverhampton and played only 19 times.
Early this term, he was hit by hamstring trouble and didn't play until September 22. He then featured in four matches before suffering another hamstring complaint in early October.
His availability would be a welcome development for the Millers who are down on numbers because of a crowded treatment room and suspensions.
Rotherham have a blank weekend coming up after the postponement of their home clash with Crawley Town following the call-ups of Jamaica pair Brandon Cover and Denzel Hall and USA goalkeeper Julian Eyestone.
They resume their League Two programme at Grimsby Town on November 21 and Bruce will be hoping his team can take their form in last Saturday's FA Cup triumph at Bromley into their fourth-tier campaign.
The Millers, just above the drop zone, are too lowly placed for anyone's liking, but Bruce isn't panicking and is following the lead of an Arsenal Premier-League-title-winner in his approach to the rankings.
"I heard Declan Rice talking the other day," the head coach said. "He said he doesn't look at the league table until February/March time. I think my message is a little bit like that.
"I know this group of players are doing everything they can. If I saw them every day and thought they weren't trying and were chucking the towel in, I would be concerned. I haven't seen any of that.
"Results haven't gone our way. A lot of decisions haven't gone our way. I'm still convinced this group of players are doing everything they can to turn it around. I'm sure that if we get behind them, they'll go on a decent run."
