Fabian Hurzeler is not expecting to see Evan Ferguson back in action in the coming weeks.

The striker has been ruled out with an ankle injury for our past three Premier League games, and Hurzeler is not sure when he will return to playing.

"Evan is doing okay, not perfectly, but he is doing okay. I think it will take some more weeks until he returns," said Hurzeler.

“I hope it goes faster, but I cannot say clearly when he will be back, so we have to be patient.”

The head coach was more positive about the possible return of Danny Welbeck, who has also been recovering from an ankle problem.

"We need to talk to him. I want to hear his perspective and view of how he feels.

“Then we have to make the right decision [about whether he plays on Saturday]. We are playing a lot of games in the next week and he is one of our leaders and we need him in the squad.

“He is a role model - how he plays football, how he works and what he invests, not only in possession but also out of possession.

"He's very supportive and we need him around the squad, around the young lads. But we really have to take care of his health and manage his comeback.

“I know that he is pushing it quite hard, but we will make the right decision together."
