The 26-year-old England international has been missing since injuring his knee during the 5-3 victory over Burnley back in December. But now Cole has returned to training and though cautious, manager Gianfranco Zola is hoping to see his top scorer back sooner, rather than later. "His recovery is vital," said Zola. "He is such an important player not only in terms of goals and what he gives to the team, but it would be a huge boost for the others. "I look forward to seeing him play soon with us. "They're talking about towards the end of the month, but we'll see. "We're not putting pressure on him. We want him, when he comes back, to be fit for the whole season and for the World Cup too hopefully."
