Injuries


Recommended Posts

im going with the rarely wrong on this one. If hughes had a serious injury i.e. a strain or tear we would have been told about it already i think. Chron says 'rated 50-50, given til last minute'

Watch this space i say, maybe on the bench for if we are in desperate need and he can have 10mins if not fully fit.

Hopes rise for Hughes return

LEE HUGHES could make his comeback from injury when Athletic face MK Dons at Boundary Park on Saturday.

 

The striker is recovering well from a groin problem and has not been written out of boss John Sheridan’s plans.

 

Hughes – scorer of a hat-trick in Athletic’s last home league game against Cheltenham – won’t be risked if there is any danger of him suffering a setback.

 

He picked up a minor strain in the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy tie with Morecambe last week, but assistant manager Tommy Wright issued a positive update.

 

Wright said: “Hughesy is coming along well and has improved greatly over the last few days.

 

“He isn’t back in training just yet, but there’s still time before the game on Saturday. At this stage I’d say he has got a chance.”

 

Defender Stefan Stam has reached a similar point in his own recovery from a groin strain picked up against Morecambe.

 

Stam, who has made three appearances in knock-out competitions this term, hopes to be fit within the next week.
