Sean Longstaff Injuries

'Sadly, Sean will miss the game - he is out with a calf injury. He is expected to be out 4-6 weeks, so we will miss him for a while. It's, of course, not ideal.' 'He is progressing in his rehab, also doing individual stuff on the pitch, running, and a little bit with a ball. But the first step will be for him to be integrated into team training, and then, of course, a few training sessions to be available. Then, we decide, from game to game and from day to day.' 'With Sean, if I'm honest, initially my plan was to involve him the first time for the FA Cup because he was out for more than six weeks. Perhaps also a chance to be involved in the squad again. Definitely not for 90 minutes, also definitely not in the starting line-up, but perhaps for a few minutes.'

'Sean would be one of those players that we're analysing and checking.' 'Sean and Joe (Willock) aren't long-term injuries. Very difficult to give you a definitive time on both players, but they're not too bad.'

'Sean is still not training with us, but we anticipate he will be back pretty soon. He has just had a niggly injury; we don't want that to continue. We have to introduce him when we think he is ready.' 'We hope [Sean] will be involved.'

'Sean picked up a knock on his foot. We sent him for an x-ray. There's no break or fracture, we think. We hope it's just bad bruising. He wasn't available today, but we hope he'll be back soon.' 'Sean is OK. He's improved, but he hasn't trained yet. We're hoping either today or tomorrow he will, but we'll wait and see.' 'We thought it was quite a standard injury - a bruise, now there may be a chance it's something a bit more serious than that, but we are in the dark at the moment.' 'He went to see a specialist, and I think there were a few concerns that there was some structural damage in his foot, but there wasn't, which is good news. He's being re-scanned today, which we hope will show an improvement.' 'We're quite clear on the injury; it's just how long it takes to heal. He made good progress yesterday, so let's see how he feels today. He won't be involved in this game.' 'At this moment, being honest, it's doubtful. He hasn't trained. He's improving, but we'll wait and see.'

"Sean has declared himself OK. He's had tonsillitis but we've got one or two coming back which is a good thing."

"We might have Isaac Hayden and Sean Longstaff available."

"Unfortunately, he turned an ankle in training so won’t be in contention. It’s one of those freak injuries. We won’t know how severe it is for a couple of days."

"The injury is getting better, I'm feeling stronger every day, and hopefully I'll be back ready to start pre-season and prepare for the new campaign."
