Liam Delap Injuries

'Liam was due to play but was ill four hours before the game. Both of them had really high temperatures - dangerously high. Hopefully, they can rest up and be OK for Saturday.' 'No, Liam is still at home at the moment, recovering, as is Jamie Gittens. Our club doctors are doing everything they can to contain what looks to be a virus because some members of our staffhave gone down as well.'

'It looks bad now... We need to wait for the next 48 hours, and then we will see.' 'Liam, fortunately, there is no fracture, which is good news. In terms of how long he will be out, we are not sure at this stage, to be honest.' 'We don't know yet. It can be still, 2,3, 4 weeks... We don't know exactly how many days he needs.' 'Liam [is] probably available for Aston Villa. We said since his injury, we didn't know exactly for how long, but he is progressing well.' 'Estevao is back... and also Liam. They are both back. We didn’t know exactly how long Liam would be out for, but he is back on Saturday, and we are happy to have both available.’

'Liam will unfortunately be out for a while, and we will try to find different solutions.' 'Liam's injury doesn't look good. It was full speed, hamstring, so that requires weeks.' 'Liam is around 10-12 weeks, so a long way to go.' 'Liam is very close. He is not working with us yet - he is still out - but hopefully, he can start in the next days to take part in the sessions with us.' 'Liam is doing well. He took part in the session yesterday with the team for the first time. He isn't going to be available for tomorrow's game, but possibly for the cup game next week, he could be available.' 'Yes, Liam is available for the game. He completed the whole session with us yesterday with no problems, and he is available for tomorrow. We have to be careful with Liam, and [it’s unlikely he will play] 90 minutes, no. He’s been out for two months, so he needs to be gradually brought back up to 100 per cent.'

"It’s been a tough four months. I’ve managed to work hard and importantly not rush things. I am still so young and had to make sure the injuries healed properly so there are no issues later in my career."
