“They’re looking really good, and it’s fantastic for the group to have them back. They all look eager and hungry.
“Callum Slattery will be in full training next week. Good times.

We had two players representing their nations during the October international break, let’s find out how they got on.
Regan Charles-Cook was not involved in Grenada’s first match against the British Virgin Islands, due to a delayed arrival to the camp. Grenada won the match 4-1 in his absence.
In the second match against Cuba, Charles-Cook was named in the starting 11. The winger contributed two assists in a 2-0 win for the Spice Boys.
Tawanda Maswanhise was named on the bench for Zimbabwe’s game against South Africa. He entered the action on the hour-mark but the hosts couldn’t find a way past the Group’s second placed team and the match ended goalless.
Maswanhise never featured in the Warriors second match, against Lestotho, due to a passport issue.

Motherwell came up just short against Champions Celtic last time, conceding a goal in stoppage-time which consigned the Steelmen to their first league defeat of the season, and Jens Berthel Askou’s first competitive defeat at the club.
But Apostolos Stamatelopoulos found the back of the net twice last time out, making it three goals in two games for the frontman.
Elijah Just, Callum Slattery, Callum Hendry and Tom Sparrow are all nearing their return to action, with captain Paul McGinn coming back into the team a fortnight ago against Celtic.
The last competitive meeting between these two sides was back in 2010 at Fir Park, when a single Ryan Flynn goal secured all three points for the visitors. The Steelmen’s last victory over Falkirk was in October 2009 when Lukas Jutkiewicz found the back of the net in a 1-0 win.
Falkirk earned a point against Rangers in their last game before the October international break.
Dylan Tait is the current top goalscorer for the side on five goals, and their are some familiar faces amongst the Falkirk ranks with former Motherwell men Alfie Agyeman and Ross McIver currently there.
John McGlynn’s side have three draws and one win in their opening seven league matches this season.

August was gruelling, but the performances were positive. One thing was missing however, the first league win.
Fresh from the international break, three games were due to be played in September. It was a huge month this early on in the season for Motherwell, with a place at Hampden at stake and a chance to get off the mark in the league.
New signings Regan Charles-Cook and Stephen Welsh sit down to break down every game in September, and the emotions they felt on the pitch playing.
