Next step explained for Blackpool midfielder following absence against Huddersfield Town
Blackpool could welcome three players back to action next week.
Blackpool’s meeting with Huddersfield Town on Saturday afternoon came a little too soon for Albie Morgan - but he is due back next week alongside two others.
The midfielder, who joined the Seasiders from Charlton Athletic in 2023, has been absent for the last few weeks due to an ankle injury.
Despite making a return to training last week, the 26-year-old wasn’t deemed ready for the trip to the Accu Stadium, with Ian Evatt opting to take caution amid the club’s current injury crisis.
Fraser Horsfall and Hayden Coulson are also among those currently missing, but are also set to be back in the mix in the near feature.
Discussing when Morgan and the others could return to action, the Blackpool boss said: “He just wanted to have a few more days really. He’s running and everything looks good on the grass, but with ankles they can be a bit weak when you first return.
“We just felt, with how good the other lads looked from when we first recruited them, we could give Albie that little bit more time.
“We’re going to have three returning next week - three big players for us.
“Albie (Morgan), Hayden (Coulson) and Fraser (Horsfall) will all return. All of a sudden the squad looks completely different with Joel (Randall) and George (Honeyman) not far behind.
“When we had every fit and available, we all know what the results were over Christmas. We’ve been close post-Christmas, and have been in games, but have been on the wrong side of moments.”
