Mr Brownstone 0 Posted August 12, 2011 In case anyone hasn''t seen the piece on the front page this is what was said about players carrying injuries in this mornings press conference: Russell Martin (calf) and Andrew Crofts (ankle) have both returned to training after missing the final pre-season tune up against Parma. Elliott Ward and James Vaughan are definitely ruled out for the trip to the north-west with ankle injuries.“I know the team that will play and when we get there the lads themselves will know,” said Lambert. “Russell Martin doesn’t seem too bad. He trained for the first time yesterday and if there is no reaction then we’ll see how he is. Anthony (Pilkington) probably needs a bit more time but he has done really well these last few games. Crofty trained yesterday as well for the first time and so we’ll just see how he is. As long as nothing happens this morning they’ll travel up.”Thought Vaughan''s was a knee injury?

alysha 0 Posted August 13, 2011 Thanks, will be interesting to see if R.Martin starts at RB, as if he had only trained once since the Parma warm up, then Lambert may think Naughton is the safer bet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
