Millers pair in fitness battle

Right-back Tonge, who has been out since mid-March, is back jogging and expected to return to full training in a couple of weeks.

Striker Pope is still a month away from fitness after fracturing his metatarsal in April.

Moore said: "Popey is not that close to playing at the moment. He will have his pre-season when the season starts.

"Tongey has had permission now to start jogging so that is a good sign."

The news comes as Rotherham digest the news that striker Ryan Taylor will be out for fourth to five months, also with a foot injury.
