Experienced right-back Cyrus Christie could be an option at the New York Stadium, but he only returned to training on Thursday after six weeks out with his own hamstring injury, and Rossenyoglu has ruled that he will be available at the New York Stadium. They are reluctant to rush and may choose to do so. He is expected to play against Slater at right-back in midweek.
“Right now I have a squad of players, but of course the first thing I have to do is evaluate the players from a physical point of view,” Rosenior said of the possible changes midweek. .
“Coyrie felt his hamstring. That’s why he came out. He felt his hamstring at half-time. We have two more games (this week). It’s a precautionary measure at the moment.”
“Thankfully Cyrus is back but he only had one session so I didn’t include him in the team. He has more sessions and more time on the training pitch. We need to evaluate him because he’s only had one full session.” One full session, which was Thursday’s session. He attended half of Thursday’s sessions. We had a walkthrough session yesterday (Friday) and it was really light. Players will also be able to participate when it’s appropriate for them.
“I thought Ryan Giles might be tired, but that’s normal because he hasn’t played in a row. Anas (Zaroly) is the same way. So it’s important to strengthen them and see if they crumble. It’s important to find a balance between not having to do that, and that’s what I and my staff will be looking at from now on. ”
Rosenior has at least been able to get Aaron Connolly and Adama Traore back on the pitch, while Sharpe, who gave City a chance to play up front, is also no doubt under consideration for a starting role.
“Adamah (Traore) did a really good job. Aaron (Connolly) also needs to get back on the pitch. I think Billy (Sharp) has made a big difference as a focal point up front.”
“I felt that Abdush (Omr Abdulkadir) had a real moment as well, and he was really smart. That will happen because we have a good team and we performed better than we did today. Just make it possible.”
City will continue to be without Liam Delap as he continues to recover from a knee injury, while Jean-Michael Seri will not be back in time, but AFCON celebrations could be held if Ivory Coast win tonight’s game It is hoped that he could feature at Huddersfield Town on Saturday. The final match will be against Nigeria.
