00:00Good afternoon, just an update on the injury front.
00:04So, Josh Gordon, not expected to be involved on Saturday.
00:10He obviously came off with a knock to the hamstring on Tuesday night,
00:15around 10 minutes into the second half in that 1-1 draw against Gillingham
00:18and had to be replaced by Ellis Harrison.
00:21Matt Sadler said after the final whistle that, you know,
00:25he'd sort of suffered a knock and didn't feel ready to carry on
00:28but was kind of waiting to really see how things pan out.
00:31And today, he gave us a little bit more on that and he's set to head for a scan.
00:36But Sadler is hopeful and optimistic that it won't prove to be a serious one.
00:41But yeah, not expected to be involved this weekend.
00:46And obviously, not long return from a hamstring injury,
00:49which kept him out for just over four months,
00:52which he suffered in late August.
00:54Kind of derailed his season so far.
00:59Elsewhere, Donovan Daniels and Parisee Farquharson are also set to go for scans.
01:05Obviously, Farquharson's been out since August with a thigh injury.
01:10Donovan Daniels has been absent with a calf injury since last month.
01:16And yeah, they're going to set to go for scans.
01:19And then that will sort of determine whether they go ahead with kind of
01:23stepping up the next part of their rehabilitation.
01:27And Sadler's hopeful really that kind of Donovan Daniels could be in and around it
01:32around early March and in terms of Priestley, just a little bit after.
01:38So yeah, edging closer for those two.
01:41Obviously, Donovan has been struck by injury really badly over the past 12 months
01:45and Priestley's Warsaw spout has been plagued by injury problems.
01:50So yeah, they could be back in and around it around the business end of the season.
