Town boss Kieran McKenna says he’s still not quite sure when left-back Leif Davis might return from his ankle injury but says the problem isn’t serious, while Kayden Jackson has also had positive news after a scan on a knee injury.

Davis was substituted just before half-time at Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday and was in clear discomfort as he was helped from the field.

Jackson was a notable absentee from this evening’s 20-man squad with McKenna having said before the match that other members of the squad in addition to Davis were going for a scan.

“Leif, we’re not sure yet,” he said. “He’s got some swelling in his ankle. It’s not very, very serious, so that’s a positive, but return-wise, it’s really hard to say while the swelling hasn’t fully come down yet.

“Kayden had some swelling in his knee after the Sheffield Wednesday game, which we were a bit worried about, but he had a scan and thankfully there’s no structural damage, which was big news for us.

“Again, we’re not sure on the return date until the swelling goes down but it’s nothing too serious, so it would be good to have him back and certainly we could have done with him at times in that last 20 minutes!”

Tractorboy58 added 09:33 - Sep 20 One of the greatest improvements in our club is how the Management team have put together a squad capable of dealing with the inevitable injury setbacks, and how the coaching is clearly improving individual players ability
