Ryan Yates Injuries

'Yatesy has got a situation with his hamstring that isn’t going to be quick. We don’t think it’s too serious in the sense that he needs anything doing, but I think it’s going to be a slow one. We will wait and see.' 'He's doing OK, actually. I said it would be weeks rather than days, but he's making really, really good progress. Although not with us, he's back on the grass running. We're hoping it will be sooner rather than later - it's looking more positive now.' 'Yates has been back on the grass with us and shown no signs of anything other than being recovered. We'll see how it plays out, and if he feels good...'

'I think Yates twisted his ankle... the last 5-10 minutes he was limping.'

'Yates was ill. He had a problem with his stomach, and he could not participate. He was due to start the game against Newcastle. But he did not feel well, so Elliot came in, and he played really well. But let us see what happens on Saturday.'

'Yatesy is out with a hamstring at the moment. He has been carrying it a little bit. It affected him last week at Man City and this week altogether.' 'Yatesy has been nursing a niggly hamstring for a few weeks now, which has really forced him from not getting on the pitch. W"We'llee with regards to the weekend.'

'I think it was his shoulder. I haven't seen anybody. I had a quick chat to the lads after, so I'll have to find out.' 'Yates has had some illness and had problems with his shoulder, so that's one we're having to look at on a daily basis in regards to Saturday.'

'Ryan wasn't feeling too good in the game, so we didn't want to take any risks. You need to play with everybody at 100 per cent in this league.' 'He'll be back with us, training and playing, hopefully in two weeks, maybe a touch longer. He had a bit of an illness [that] we had to get to the bottom of. It will be good to have him back.' 'Ryan is close to returning to full training, so that should be early next week, hopefully.' 'Yatesy is back training with us now but not at 100 per cent, so he won't be available. We're hoping he really steps up next week into full training.' 'Yatesy and Moussa (Niakhate) are back in training.'

'With Dean, it's a muscle injury, did not look good but we will have to see in the next 48 hours. Same with [Ryan] Yates; we will have to see. Disappointing for those guys.' 'Ryan had a bang to his face. You know what he is like - for him to have a bang to his face and go down in the first place is not like him... never mind for him then to have to come off. We will see how he is over the next 24 hours.' 'Ryan will be available. He came off with a bit of a knock to his face, but he’s okay.'

"Ryan hasn't got back in time; he's not far away. I'm gutted for him. But I'm more focused on the guys who are available."
