Flo started last weekend's defeat to Portsmouth but has made just seventeen first-team appearances during another injury-hit spell, however Keates believes the former Portsmouth and Stoke City youth product still has a part to play.
Dean, who was speaking via the Express & Star, said; "Flo is doing well. He has missed a few games through injury. He has been a bit stop start. But he came in against Portsmouth and did really well. He went down with cramp. But we had got enough minutes into him. We made a change because we didn’t want to push him too far.
"We want to get as much as we can out of him. The games are coming thick and fast so we have to manage him. But the game at Bradford being called off has probably benefited Flo more than anybody."
