‘He is 50/50 for Fleetwood after picking up a knock from what I thought was a really poor, heavy challenge towards the back end of the game.

7. Tino Anjorin
Tino Anjorin ‘He is rehabbing nicely. We don’t have the day-to-day contact we have with the injuries here, but Tino’s doing well at Chelsea, we still speak to him occasionally.
‘He suspects it’s going to be mid-February before he returns. With the severity of Tino’s injury and how bad the hamstring tear was, these things take a long time to rehab.
‘With the nature of it, it’s one we want to make sure that, coupled with Tino’s injury history, that we are really careful with him and not risk anything coming back.
