Conor Bradley
Iraola has revealed that the Northern Irish international is a bit further behind Leoni in his recovery from a serious knee injury:
“I think he is not close to training with the team. He’s training alone, but he has started touching the ball.”
“Definitely, I want him as quick as possible ready, but it’s a long-term injury. I think (Giovanni) Leoni is a little bit ahead of him, and still it’s going to take some time for Conor, yes.”
Bradley was stretchered off against Arsenal back in January and subsequently underwent surgery
Expected Return Date – November/December
Hugo Ekitike
Iraola has given a positive update on the striker’s recovery from an Achilles tendon injury. He says there is a chance that the Frenchman could be back in action by January:
“There is a chance he could help us with the last two games of the [Champions League] group stage, but it is still very early to say.”
Expected Return Date – Tuesday 19th January vs Inter Milan (a)
