'Great news' shared for ex-Stoke City man as Blackpool injury crisis starts to clear
Blackpool currently have a number of players ruled out through injury.
Blackpool welcomed one of their long-term absentees back to action on Saturday afternoon.
James Husband was introduced for the closing stages of the 1-1 draw with Leyton Orient at Brisbane Road, having missed the entirety of the campaign so far after undergoing hamstring surgery in the summer.
It is hoped the club captain will be quickly followed by a number of other regulars on the treatment table.
Following the meeting with the O’s Seasiders boss Ian Evatt admitted there had been positive news concerning Niall Ennis last week.
The striker has been out of action since the end of September, with his presence missed up front at times since.
Following an initial loan spell at Bloomfield Road in the second half of last season, the 26-year-old made the permanent move to the Fylde Coast from Stoke City, with three goals in six appearances under his belt this term.
“We have to keep finding a way to get results over the next three or four weeks until all of the players are back,” Evatt said.
“They are getting there, they are very close. Niall (Ennis) had great news yesterday. His scan was excellent, as good as we could’ve hoped for. His achilles is healing really well. We’re probably looking at three to four weeks.
“Dale (Taylor) and Albie (Morgan) are doing very well. The cavalry is coming, but we just need to keep picking up results to get us in a position where we are competitive for when they return, and hopefully the squad will be a lot stronger and we’ll have a lot more options.”
