McLean

Philippe Clement shared updates on the squad's availability ahead of Tuesday night’s Sky Bet Championship clash at away against Derby County. 

Oscar Schwartau was absent from Saturday's squad against Watford with a nerve issue, but is available for selection against Derby.

"Oscar will be back, he's training now, three days again. So, he will be back in the selection."

Clement also provided an update on Kenny McLean and Pelle Mattsson's injuries, with both players needing assessments ahead of Tuesday night's fixture.

McLean suffered an ankle setback during his return from injury against Charlton, having come on at half-time, while Mattsson overstretched his hamstring during the same fixture. Both were absent from Saturday's squad.

“Kenny and Pelle, we still need to assess towards tomorrow, if it's possible or not."

The head coach also shared an injury update on Papa Diallo. 

“He's on schedule, he's doing individual stuff outside, he's making more and more accelerations, not full sprints yet, but I expect him back in a few weeks.”
