Cheick Doucoure

Doucoure (knee) missed a few training sessions during the week, as manager Oliver Glasner revealed that "Cheicky had a few disrupted weeks. First of all, he had a daughter - that meant he was not in for two or three days. Then, he started training. He felt a little bit, in his muscle, not a heavy injury. But after two or three days' training, he was out for two or three days. He was in again, he had a scan and is fine, so I'm hoping he'll be back by the end of the week.", Bobby Manzi of News Shopper reports.

Doucoure (knee) is in the starting squad for Friday's clash against Blackburn Rovers in Premier League 2, the club posted.

Doucoure (knee) is still not an option and "there's still a long way to go for him," according to manager Oliver Glasner.

Doucoure (knee) was able to participate in training with the group for a few minutes, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "It was the first time - just for 20 minutes in the warm-up, in the rondo - that he was part of the group. He had his surgery on 28th January last year, so one year ago, and everybody was - because Cheicky is such a lovely guy - everybody was pleased for him."

Doucoure (knee) is still far from making his return to competition since he is still building his fitness and trying to find stability and consistency, coach Oliver Glasner said in a press conference. "It takes time. I can't tell you a date Cheicky will be back with us. [It's about] getting him stable and consistent.
