“He’s back on the pitch but he’s not ready for this one,” Rosenior said.

“We need to be really, really careful, given it was a hamstring injury. So he just needs to clear a few more markers before we put him back in.

“But obviously it’ll be a big boost to have him back in the group.”

Rosenior also says Jamie Gittens is closing in on a return to action following his hamstring injury.

“Jamie Gittens is getting really close, which is great,” Rosenior said.

“He had a really positive scan. So hopefully within the next seven days he’ll be back in the group. In terms of from the Aston Villa game, there’s no injuries from that, which is fantastic.”
