“There was no real risk to take, we have two big games coming up so we’ll manage that situation and he’s going to be available.”
Left-back Dennis Cirkin, who has been recovering from a concussion injury, will also be available after coming off the bench against Burnley and playing for the under-21s side on Monday,
“Dennis is somebody we are sort of managing him through training, a couple of days after playing for the under-21s,” added Mowbray.
“He is going to be fit and available again and will have to wait for his opportunity. That might come in the next couple of games because the games come thick and fast.”
