Pierre has not featured for Salop since their 3-2 victory against Reading at the end of February when he had to go off with a groin injury.

A resulting scan revealed the damage was severe enough to rule Pierre out for the rest of the season, and Hurst has given an update on where the left-sided defender is at with his recovery.

"He is good, he has been back in," the head coach remarked. "Said he feels good. I think he is finding it a bit strange as he did not feel as bad as what he has had in the past which he knew was really bad.

"But no, he has been back in and is doing some work in the gym what he can obviously as he has got to try and stay on top of his fitness as best he can.
