Pointn, Alex Pattison and Ciaran Kelly were all welcomed by actions from the bench against Colchester.
The 21-year-old has missed the past three games with his feet that have flapped up heavy workloads over the past few months.
Graham Alexander is optimistic that Pattison and Kelly can be put in a position to start their next game. However, he remains more cautious about Pointe's outlook.
“They are training this week and are clearly playing some of the game last week.
“Pat and Ciaran had been training for a week before that, and Charan had been training for two weeks, so he's as energetic as Will Pat.
“Bobby will touch him a little more, because he couldn't do much at all.
“We were really trying to calm his legs down. Even now, we have to see how the game has affected us, so we don't know if he can train every day.”
Pointn did not report any negative effects immediately after his runout. This includes excavation at a low cross where George Lapthlee converted to the city's fourth goal.
But Alexander believes that local heroes are still learning about the physical demands of a long season and what it takes from the body.
The city boss added:
“The other day I told him about being clear and honest with us.
“In any kind of report of discomfort, it doesn't mean you're off the picture. We only rate it all, but you can't hide things from us.
“As an expert, it takes time to learn your body and what discomforts affect your performance and what doesn’t.
“If that affects your performance and damaging your team, that's when we have to make a decision.
“All players are playing with a kind of discomfort at this stage of the season.
“It's something you can play at your highest level and Bobby has to learn that.
“I think he was a pretty tough character in his time at Bradford since I came here.
“He'll learn a little more about his body and his pain threshold. It'll come over time.”
Jack Shepherd returned this weekend after missing a Colchester game with the sore lower back and gro caliber that he has handled most of the season.
He had begun 14 of the city's 15 league outings since the turn of the year. His only other absence was due to a halt against MK Don.
Alexander said:
“I managed it myself for several months anyway, so I felt he was healthy enough to start.
“I think just coming out of 13 games in 42 days will reveal signs of bad things for you.
“He played the majority and probably caught up with that particular part of his body.
“I think it will settle this week after last few days off and managed training on Friday. I think he's good.”
