Can someone post Scrafton's injury update?

To summarise:

MADINE
- Has had injections for a groin injury and missed out on the last 4 games due to it.
- Hopefully will return to training TODAY
- CRITCH: “Then we just have to make a call whether or not we feel it’s the right time for him to go back into a game, or how we would start to integrate him back into the team or the squad. It will be about three weeks since his last game, so that’s a conversation we’re going to have this afternoon.”

CJ HAMILTON
- Is starting training with the full squad again today after stepping up his rehabilitation in recent weeks (THANK THE LORD)
- CRITCH: “He’s been out since the Christmas period, so now we have to decide how many training sessions he needs and how long we give him before we integrate him back into the squad. It’s great to have him back involved on the grass and with the squad."

GRETARSSON
- CRITCH: “Daniel Gretarsson is also on the grass and doing some running, but he’ll be a couple of weeks away yet. He’s stepping up his rehab though and so far there’s been no issue with that.”

EKPITETA:
- CRITCH: “It’s not going to be a couple of weeks,” he conceded. "But I never like setting timeframes though, because everyone is different. Different people and different bodies react in different ways. As soon as I put a date on it or number of weeks, people hold you to that. Hopefully he can come back sooner or it might take him a bit longer, you never know. But it’s not going to be one or two weeks, that’s for certain, it’s going to be longer than that.”

So we can't expect to see Gretarsson or Ekpiteta soon. But looking likely we'll see Hamilton and Madine sooner, rather than later which is brilliant.

Further update:

CJ:
- The winger has stepped up his recovery from a serious hamstring injury in recent weeks, having been out since mid-December. Due to the nature of the injury, Hamilton is likely to be eased back into action, but Critchley admits that point isn’t too far away.
- CRITCH: “CJ stepped up his training this week, so he’s been back in with the squad and trained which has gone well so far, he’s had no ill effects,” Pool’s head coach told The Gazette, speaking this morning. "We’re hopeful that, if we can keep him on the training pitch, he’ll be back into one of the match-day squads in the near future."

MADINE:
- CRITCH: “As for Gary Madine, he’s on the grass and I’ll be having a meeting shortly with the physios and the sports scientists to see what we do with him regarding tomorrow’s game (against Charlton Athletic).
- "If there is a silver lining from Tuesday night’s postponement, it’s that those two have had a bit more time to recover, train or step-up their rehabilitation. But who knows if it will work in our favour until we get right into the thick of the games? We’ve not really got into the routine of Saturday-Tuesday for a prolonged period of time yet, so we’re hopeful that will maybe play into our favour. But there’s been so many ups and downs this season and so many things that have come out of the blue, you try not to think too far ahead.”

GRETARSSON:
- Daniel Gretarsson is another player that is continuing his recovery from a hamstring injury, having not featured since January 9.
- While the centre-back is making good progress, he’s a bit further behind in his recovery than teammate Hamilton.
“He’s back on the grass and running, but he’s probably a couple of weeks away from joining in with the group I would have thought,” Critchley revealed.
