Reid unlikely to be match fit for Sunday

Head of Medical and Sports Science Stijn Vandenbroucke has issued his weekly update on WHUFC.com – in association with Spire Roding Hospital

Stijn says James Collins should return  from injury after the international break while Valencia, Moses and O’Brien should all return to the squad this weekend after re-joining training earlier this week.

He does reveal Winston Reid will only re-join training on Friday (tomorrow) which makes a Sunday return unlikely.

Stijn told WHUFC.com “Unfortunately, James Collins suffered a hamstring injury in the Spurs game. This was the first injury he has suffered this season and we hope to recover him after the international break.”“Enner Valencia, Victor Moses and Joey O’Brien all re-joined training earlier this week after recovering from a right high ankle sprain, a quadriceps injury and hamstring problem respectively.”“Winston Reid is going to join training on Friday. Winston is in the last stages of his hamstring rehab and needs a good training block with the team.” 

“James Tomkins is in the final stage of his rehabilitation after recovering from the calf injury he suffered at Southampton on 6 February, and he will start training again next week.”
