The summer signing from Wolves is yet to make his competitive debut following a pre-season foot fracture, but has been an unused substitute for the past two matches
It could still be a risk to start Conor Coady as he continues his comeback from a foot fracture, Enzo Maresca has said.
The summer signing has been a substitute for the past two games after recovering from the injury he suffered in pre-season. But with Jannik Vestergaard performing well, he has not yet been needed, and he is still waiting for his competitive debut with the club.
Maresca, speaking ahead of the clash with Bristol City on Saturday, said Coady was still being eased back in and that it could be a risk to play him for 90 minutes. He is still striving to reach 100 per cent fitness
“He’s getting better day by day,” Maresca said at his press conference on Friday afternoon. “It’s been eight weeks, nine weeks, so a long injury for him. We are going to try, step by step, to bring him at 100 per cent.

Both Vestergaard and Harry Winks picked up their fourth yellow cards of the season at Norwich, and so are now one booking away from a one-match suspension. A caution against Bristol City would see them suspended for the trip to Blackburn next weekend, rather than the Carabao Cup tie against Liverpool in midweek.
