Fletcher to return?
According to reports Steven Fletcher has returned to training and is able to run after his dislocated shoulder injury.
The Scotland international dislocated his shoulder during a 3-0 defeat at West Brom, and there were concerns that he could be sidelined for several weeks.
Ball is confident last season's top scorer will be available for the trip to Swansea city (19th Oct) after the international break.
Ball added: "He is running now. It was a sore one. They said four to six weeks and he might be aiming for the back end of the international break, and that would be fantastic news if he was."
