Joel Ward Injuries

'We have a bit of a question mark with Joel. He has some issues with his calf, but let’s see how it goes. It looks like maybe he’s not available.'

'Joel missed the Villa game, but it’s not that serious. He will miss the Wolves game but should be available against Fulham.'

'Then we have Joel, who also had issues this week with his groin, so we will see tomorrow.'

'Joel, as I think everyone knows, picked up an injury, unfortunately, last weekend. He's had a scan, so we will be missing him for a while - so that is a new injury concern.' 'Joel is [also] still not back to full fitness, but he is actually quite close now, so it won't be long before we get him back as well.' 'He does his clearance this weekend. He's been training on his own with the sports science and medical people.'

'It’s his calf. He has started working on the field, and he will be a couple of weeks.' 'Wardy will start training with the team next Monday.'

"No, he is not [ready]. He is still doing some training but not with the team so he will not be available."

"They’re predicting it be won’t the coming matches, more like the end of [January] if we’re lucky."

"He felt a pain in his groin so it's obviously some sort of strain in the groin. I expect we'll have to wait until they do the scans to find out how serious that is."

"Isn't too far away [from a return]."

"Getting closer, but is not ready yet."
