FULHAM striker Bobby Zamora yesterday took another step on his long road to recovery by running for the first time since breaking his leg.

Zamora has been out for more than three months and remains on target for a February return, according to manager Mark Hughes.

Hughes said: ‘‘Bobby went out there and was running on the pitch for the first time.

‘‘He’s done a lot of work in the gym and worked on the machine that increases the load and the weight bearing he can manage.

‘‘He hit 100 per cent load bearing last week and we have got him outside today.

‘‘Obviously, it’s very, very early days for him in terms of building up his confidence and getting his body back to where it was before.”
