Neil Critchley provides encouraging injury update ahead of Blackpool's Carabao Cup tie against Middlesbrough
Blackpool’s squad is now beginning to look a lot healthier than it was a couple of weeks ago.
That’s according to Neil Critchley, who could have last season’s Wembley hero Kenny Dougall back available to him for Wednesday night’s Carabao Cup first round tie against Middlesbrough.
The midfielder was absent for Saturday’s league opener against Bristol City having injured his knee during pre-season.
Elsewhere, Kevin Stewart is making good progress in his recovery from the knock to his ankle he suffered in the friendly against Manchester City. However, tomorrow night’s cup tie will come too soon for the 27-year-old.
There is promising news regarding both Daniel Gretarsson (shoulder) and Gary Madine (groin), who are back in training following their operations earlier in the summer.
“Kenny has trained with us for the last two days, so he will come back into contention,” Critchley told The Gazette this afternoon.
“The game will come too soon for Kevin Stewart, although he’s been doing some running and has been back out on the grass.
“Gary Madine has joined in part of training and Daniel Gretarsson has been training as well, so the squad is starting to appear a bit more healthier than it was a couple of weeks ago.”
The only other players out through injury are Matty Virtue (ACL), who will remain sidelined for the first half of the season, and Demetri Mitchell (knee).
No timescale has been set for Mitchell’s return after the winger suffered the blow during the summer friendly against Morecambe.
“We’ve had better news than we thought, but it’s still going to be a few weeks. He won’t be appearing any time this week, that’s for certain,” Critchley said.
“But Demi is positive around the place. He was quite worried about it as well, so he’s a really bubbly character and that news has perked him up a bit.
“He’s positive and I know he’ll be disappointed not to be involved at the weekend because there would have been a good chance he would have been involved in the game, possibly starting.
“He’ll be desperate to get back as quickly as he can and I know he’ll be doing everything to do that.”
Speaking after Saturday's curtain raiser at Ashton Gate, Critchley confirmed he will make changes against Neil Warnock's Boro.
The likes of Oliver Casey, Marvin Ekpiteta, Sonny Carey, Josh Bowler and Shayne Lavery could be in line for starts after being named on the bench at the weekend.
Warnock, meanwhile, has also revealed he will be making changes to the Middlesbrough side that drew 1-1 against Fulham on Sunday.

Ward Set For Surgery
Grant Ward is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines following the injury he sustained against AFC Bournemouth last weekend.
The midfielder, who was stretchered off in the 65th minute at the Vitality Stadium, requires surgery on his Achilles tendon.
“Wardy now faces surgery so that’s going to be a lengthy period of time off,” Neil Critchley confirmed.
“It’s not a very nice moment when you receive that news because Wardy has brilliant ever since I walked into the football club.
“From the very first day that I walked in and saw him playing - it was actually in a reserve game at Huddersfield - he really took my eye. Some of his performances last season were immense. He’ll be a big miss for us.
“He’s great around the training ground every day and is a bubbly character who is well liked within the group. We’ve got to make sure now that we support him and look after him.”
On the injury front, there is better news regarding Demetri Mitchell however, who has stepped up his return to fitness.
“He’s doing some running, twisting and turning so he looks good, feels good and if he carries on the way he is at the moment, then we’re hopeful that he’ll be ready for the Fulham game.”

Losing Ward's a blow.
I don't think he's solid enough to be the main man in midfield and we're weakened in that area when it's Ward accompanied by, for example, James.
However, he's got quality and compliments both Dougall and Stewart very well. Perm any 2 players from those 3 players and our defensive mid is good enough for the championship.
Replacement needed.
Virtue's also out long term.
Has Robson got a recall clause? |  |

IIRC there are no recall options on loans anymore | |

I see that Mitchell's been included in the 25 (22) man squad.
4 long term injuries left - Virtue, Ward, Hamilton, and Madine.
It's looking like offering Madine a new contract was a misjudgement when it was obvious how injury prone and physically limited he'd become. Even when he was "fully fit" last season he could hardly run. | |

With Keogh out, all eyes will be on the choice of LCH.
Husband or Grétarrson?
The consequence of that means either Husband or James at LB. | |
