Dean Smith confirmed that Pierre Lees-Melou and Kenny McLean are expected to recover from their respective injuries to feature in the match against Newcastle United tomorrow.
Pierre Lees-Melou picked up cramp in the final minutes of the match at Old Trafford last weekend, while Kenny McLean had a small fracture in his toe. Both are training today though and should be available for selection.
“Kenny (McClean) is available despite a small fracture in his toe, he’s training today (Friday) so he should be ok," said Dean.
However, there was bad news for Josh Sargent and Lukas Rupp who are both ruled out.
"Josh Sargent is ok for the Aston Villa match next week but won’t be available for the game on Saturday," added Dean. "Josh is starting training on Monday.
“Lukas (Rupp) pulled out of training yesterday after he felt a little niggle in the back of his knee, so he’s out.”
Brandon Williams is back in contention for selection after missing last week’s match against Manchester United as it was against his parent club.
