It was a huge boost having L Cook back in the last match and we're certainly going to have some options when the whole squad is available. However, we have so many out I've lost track of who is coming back when so I've tried to collate it a bit from snippets online.

Lloyd Kelly - Played for the U21s last night and pre-international break intimated he hoped to be available for the first team a couple of matches after the break. Possibility for the bench on Friday?

Junior Stanislas - Seems to have gone very quiet given that before the Leicester match EH said that hoped he would be available immediately after the international break. Has anyone heard anything since?

Simon Francis - Played for the U21s last night and EH said he hoped he would be available after the international break. Another candidate for the bench on Friday.

Arnaut Danjuma - Back training on grass but hasn't joined the main group yet. Presuming there are no setbacks I'd guess at 2-3 weeks for him to be an option for selection.

David Brooks - On 30/8 EH said he was on schedule in his recovery, still expected back around the end of October.

Dan Gosling - As with Brooks, on 30/8 EH said he was on schedule in his recovery and still expected back around the end of October.

Adam Smith - Hamstring injury not as serious as first feared and a couple of days ago EH said he hoped he would be 'back soon'. I'm going to guess that means this weekend will be too soon but may be available by the time of the West Ham match.

Charlie Daniels - Out for the season.


That could mean in a couple of weeks we may be down to a mere four players out injured. Oh dear, I think I just cursed us.
 
Thanks been doing the same as one of my boys was going on before the match on Sunday about all our injuries , tried to tell him stay positive but we have had a shafting where injuries are concerned in key areas.

Oh and Francis would love to be playing for the U21's might want to check the source :cool:

I know your in your lunch hours but , tough crowd
 
Lloyd Kelly said in his post match interview that he was "very close" to being available for first team selection; whether that means he'll be fit enough to make the bench for Saints we'll wait and see. I suppose there won't be too big of a rush to get him involved if he's not 100%, since he's unlikely to be coming off of the bench I'd have thought?

Stanislas is a strange one; although you can't rule out him being on he bench as a surprise inclusion. Though you would think he would have been involved in the U21s game if that were the case?

Excited to see what Danjuma can do once he's fit and available; our Champions League goalscorer!

I too am excited to see Danjuma back playing. He looked a very good acquisition in the preseason, very crafty and lively. Looks like he can cause the opposition problems and provides a creative impetus.
 
That's really big for us if he's fit and available again. The options out wide suddenly look much more plentiful.
 
If Stanislas is anywhere near match minutes, he surely would have played against Basingstoke unless the comp rules wouldn't allow it.

Judging by Steve Cook’s comment with the clock I would imagine that means that it is only a matter of ( brief ) TIME before Stan is back. He’s probably back on the grass but some way from being available for selection I would imagine. Still good news though !
