Seeing Oli Skulason and Sam Tillen return in midweek in a friendly, the boss reported yesterday,
"Charlie Ide has cramp, but I expect him to be fit for Tuesday."
He did however say,
"Andrew Frampton's shoulder is not getting any better and there is no time to rest it."
Meanwhile as Fitzgerald discussed the current depth problems in the forward department, he revealed Lloyd Owusu has had a setback on a long term problem,
"Lloyd needs another operation. It's a stress fracture of his groin or his hip and he's for a hernia problem as well. He's going to see another specialist about it but we are expecting him to continue to be out for the duration."
On Stuart Nelson he also said,
"Stuart is in an air-cast boot and should be out of it on the 4th January but theres no guarentee he can play instantly."
