Rosenior’s Update: Two Attackers Return, Three Defenders Near Comeback.
Attack options
Rosenior confirmed two wide players are available again. Estevao and Jamie Gittens have returned to training.
The pair should offer fresh attacking options for this weekend’s squad. Their presence boosts selection depth on the wings.
Defensive outlook
Reece James remains unavailable but is progressing well. Rosenior said James is not yet ready to play.
Trevoh Chalobah is progressing very well. Levi Colwill is back in full training but will be managed carefully.
Colwill faces a cautious reintegration after a serious injury. Rosenior expects him to need several more weeks.
The manager indicated James and Chalobah could return within a week or two. Colwill should feature before the season ends.
Discipline and availability
Rosenior addressed comments made by Marc Cucurella during the international break. He expressed disappointment but opted against punishment.
Enzo Fernandez will miss two matches after speaking about wanting to leave the club. Rosenior confirmed the suspension length.
The squad looks fresher with the recent returns. Filmogaz.com will provide further updates as the Port Vale match approaches.
