Jack Ross expects his match squad for Saturday’s homecoming fixture against Wycombe Wanderers to be the same as last weekend.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Thursday afternoon, the Scot revealed that long-term absentees Duncan Watmore and Charlie Wyke are making progress.
But the manager admitted their return remains still some way off as he also provided brief updates on Lee Cattermole, Ethan Robson and Denver Hume.
“Charlie is back on the pitch now,” he said. “He is making progress but he is still three or four weeks away. That’s still ahead of schedule but it will be sooner than we first predicted.
“Lee has not recovered as well as we’d have hoped. He won’t be available this weekend so we’re hoping another period of rest will help him.
“He’s really frustrated because he’d really like to be playing as he’s had such a good season to date. Ethan remains out for the next few weeks.
“Other than that, Denver would’ve played in midweek but had a slight reoccurrence but should be back in training next week.”
He continued: “Duncan had a little bit of a niggle. It wasn’t anything related to his knee, but he missed a couple of days training. He joined back in today (Thursday) and hopefully after another full week he should be ready for some under-23 matches.”
