Treatment room update gives team selection clue
The Irons top medic Stijn Vandenbroucke has revealed in his latest treatment room update that
Alvaro Arbeloa is set to play a part in the EFL Cup against Accrington Stanley next week and that means Byram will almost certainly again be trusted with the right back slot against the Baggies on Saturday.
Vandenbroucke says it has been a calm week with Mark Noble the only new face in the tratement room but says he will be fit and available to face West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.
Mark required eight stitches in his left hand after a Watford player trod on it during last weekend’s game. He was in some discomfort and pain during the second half.
Stijn adds: “Aaron Cresswell and Andre Ayew are both progressing very well and have both been running this week as they continue their recoveries from a knee and thigh injury respectively.”
He adds that Andy Carroll too had a week during which he has made good progress and says he is also running on the pitch. He is reported as working hard, although it will take time before he is ready to return to action.
He also revealed: “And finally Diafra Sakho is progressing. He has been running up and down the stairs at London Stadium and skipping as he continues to build up his fitness, and is now ready to take the next stage by increasing his training.”
