Regis Le Bris has provided fans with a fresh injury rundown ahead of this weekend's game against Portsmouth. This includes: Dan Ballard, Salis Abdul Samed, Chris Rigg, Tommy Watson, Alan Browne, Romaine Mundle and Ahmed Abdullahi.
CAUTIOUS WITH BALLARD
"I think we'll have to take care of Dan because it's a muscle injury. It's not major but with muscle injuries you have to be very careful because you can have reinjuries. Joint injuries are different. We'll have to wait a little bit."
SAMED/RIGG
"Salis is training now, he's in full training. We'll have Riggy [for Stoke] probably, we have to wait a little bit but his recovery is doing well. So I think these players could be available [for Stoke]."
WATSON/BROWNE/MUNDLE
“Tommy is still a few weeks away. With Alan, the recovery has not been quick so we will have to delay a week or two I think. Like Romaine, he will be back a little bit later this month."
ABDULLAHI
"Ahmed is training but like Salis, he has not played for around six months now. So I don't know exactly when he will be available but it will be probably take three our four weeks to find his full rhythm."
