Latest Antonio update
The striker is understood to be likely to spending this week training alone as he bids to overcome a new hamstring problem.
Manager David Moyes revealed at his presser ahead of the Manchester United game that he hoped the new problem wasn’t too serious.
However, ClaretandHugh’s understanding is that the player will train alone this week and is more likely to feature on the bench for the game at Stamford Bridge on December 21.
The backroom team are also hoping to play the 30 year old striker in an under 23 match as he looks to add match fitness to his game.
The lads have a game against Peterborough United tomorrow night but it seems more likely he may feature in a game against Everton in Southport on December 14.
It remains to be seen whether the manager will persist with the out of form and out of luck Seb Haller in the two upcoming games or maybe launch Sad Benrahma into the central striker role.
