CITY stopper Paul Bastock hopes to be back in action as soon as next week after doctors told him his eye injury was healing well.
Last Sunday, the Non League Paper reported that Bastock's 20-year career could be over but last season's Player of the Year told The Herts Advertiser that's far from the case.
"I had a good day yesterday. I went back to the clinic and they said another week's rest and it should be back to normal.
"I've got to go back tomorrow because I've still got a bit of double vision when my head is at an angle but that is just to clear a few things up."

Bastock picked up the injury after an accidental elbow from TeamBath captain Gary Warren but played the rest of the game despite suffering from blurred vision.
"When it happened I felt the eye go back and I heard a crack. I asked the physio if I'd broken my cheekbone but he said my face was fine," recalls Bastock.
