Blackpool trio on course for Rotherham United return as update is shared on Crystal Palace loanee
Blackpool could welcome a number of players back from injury in the next few weeks.
Blackpool’s injury crisis could start to ease further in the next fortnight - with one player being lined up to return in the FA Cup tie against Carlisle United.
The Seasiders have been plagued by an extensive injury list so far this season, hindering both the sacked Steve Bruce and currently head coach Ian Evatt.
In last weekend’s 1-1 draw away to Leyton Orient, club captain James Husband was able to make his return to action from the bench after missing the entirety of the campaign before that after undergoing hamstring surgery in the summer.
The 31-year-old could be the first of several key players to be back in contention on a regular basis over the next month.
Crystal Palace loanee Danny Imray could be back in time for Sunday’s meeting with the Cumbrians, while others could be called upon in Blackpool’s next League One outing away to Rotherham United on December 10 or the following home game against Lincoln City.
“Josh Bowler, Albie Morgan and Dale Taylor will all be training by the end of the week,” Evatt said.
“Danny Imray will be fit to feature against Carlisle, the rest are more likely to be the week after.
“In three or four weeks the team will look completely different, as we’ll have some of our better players returning from injury - that’s just the truth, it’s not being harsh to the ones who have been playing. They’ve got the shirt at the moment and it’s their job to try and keep it.
“We’ve seen a high initially with the new manager bounce, and now we’ve seen a revert to type moment, so let’s speak about it and be clear about it, let’s take everything that’s going to come our way and stand up and own it to improve.”
