00:00Good afternoon, just an update on the injury front.

00:04So, Josh Gordon, not expected to be involved on Saturday.

00:10He obviously came off with a knock to the hamstring on Tuesday night,

00:15around 10 minutes into the second half in that 1-1 draw against Gillingham

00:18and had to be replaced by Ellis Harrison.

00:21Matt Sadler said after the final whistle that, you know,

00:25he'd sort of suffered a knock and didn't feel ready to carry on

00:28but was kind of waiting to really see how things pan out.

00:31And today, he gave us a little bit more on that and he's set to head for a scan.

00:36But Sadler is hopeful and optimistic that it won't prove to be a serious one.

00:41But yeah, not expected to be involved this weekend.

00:46And obviously, not long return from a hamstring injury,

00:49which kept him out for just over four months,

00:52which he suffered in late August.

00:54Kind of derailed his season so far.

00:59Elsewhere, Donovan Daniels and Parisee Farquharson are also set to go for scans.

01:05Obviously, Farquharson's been out since August with a thigh injury.

01:10Donovan Daniels has been absent with a calf injury since last month.

01:16And yeah, they're going to set to go for scans.

01:19And then that will sort of determine whether they go ahead with kind of

01:23stepping up the next part of their rehabilitation.

01:27And Sadler's hopeful really that kind of Donovan Daniels could be in and around it

01:32around early March and in terms of Priestley, just a little bit after.

01:38So yeah, edging closer for those two.

01:41Obviously, Donovan has been struck by injury really badly over the past 12 months

01:45and Priestley's Warsaw spout has been plagued by injury problems.

01:50So yeah, they could be back in and around it around the business end of the season.
