Harry Pinchard | Knee | Expected Return to Play – Early to Mid-September

Harry is entering the final stages of his return-to-play protocol. Harry experienced his first involvement in full training this week and passed the first round of his fitness testing with flying colours. Provided he continues to progress at his current rate, we hope to see him return to the matchday squad soon.

Josh Taylor | Knee | Expected Return to Play – October

Josh continues to progress well. He has increased his on-pitch workload and remains on track for a return in October.

Jimmy Muitt | Knee | Expected Return to Play – October

Jimmy has enjoyed a positive week, with clear progress in his knee rehabilitation. He is now working towards a return to running within the next two weeks, with the aim of becoming available for selection around October, provided he continues to progress at his current rate.

Dan Gallagher | Back | Expected Return to Play – End of October

Dan has progressed at a slower rate over the past week after experiencing some minor symptoms following an increase in his rehabilitation workload. We remain confident that Dan will return to the pitch towards the end of October.

Isaac Philpot | Ankle | Expected Return to Play – ASAP

Isaac has fully recovered from his ankle injury and will now complete a carefully managed, staggered return to full match fitness.

Dan Pybus | Groin | Expected Return to Play – Late August

Dan has had his workload managed throughout the week and is expected to return on Saturday. His training load will continue to be managed next week to maximise his availability and impact on matchdays.

Harry Forster | Minor Hamstring Injury | Expected Return to Play – Late August

Harry has experienced some fatigue over the past week and has therefore had his workload carefully managed. This is purely a precautionary measure, and his training load will continue to be monitored over the coming weeks as he builds towards full fitness, having missed a significant period of pre-season.

Page colour

Black text on a white page is the harshest combination there is. A tint takes the glare off without making the text harder to read.
