Longelo waits and wonders after Cresswell update

Top game from young Longelo

Youngster Emmanuel Longelo must have an outside chance of making it into the starting line-up for the match at Burnley on Sunday.

Aaron Creswell is no certainty to make the match after sustaining his back injury and should that turn out to be the case Longelo did more than enough to suggest he is already a capable back up.
Davic Moyes could give no definite news at his presser on the 31 year old but seemed hopeful that he may be okay for Turf Moor.
Speaking to reporters he said: “Cress is doing much better, it will be touch and go if he makes it or not.
We’ve seen him out and about a little bit and he’s doing a bit more, feeling a bit more mobile than he has been.
It would be important if we could get him back, it would help us a lot. We’ll give him every opportunity to try and make it.”
