CHERRIES are again as they were when it comes to available players for this weekend’s match with Luton Town.
Head coach Andoni Iraola is not expecting any further returnees from injury ahead of Saturday’s (3pm) clash with the Hatters at Vitality Stadium.
Hamed Traore remains sidelined with an illness that kept him out of the wins over Crystal Palace and Manchester United last week.
There were positive updates, with Alex Scott and Max Aarons taking part in some group training sessions.
Discussing his side’s injury news, Iraola shared: “I think it’s going to be pretty similar that we had in the past week.
“We haven’t had any new issues. Emiliano (Marcondes) is training with the group. Junior (Hamed Traore) is still fighting against the illness, I don’t think he is ready to help us.
“Alex (Scott) and Max (Aarons) are doing somethings outside with the group. But I think the squad will look pretty similar to past weeks.”
Whilst no new faces have returned to availability, there have also been no fresh injury issues for Iraola to contend with, despite a gauntlet of three games in seven days.
Iraola continued: “Everyone finished well, the tough week we had, the three games we played. The ones that were ready against Man United will be ready again to go.”
