Marvelous Nakamba

Nakamba is facing an extended period on the sidelines after undergoing an operation on his meniscus due to an injury he picked up in training, according to manager Rob Edwards. "It was an innocuous one, it came when he made a pass in training. We won't put a timeframe on it, but it's not good and it will be some significant time. He'll see a specialist in a few weeks' time. It's frustrating for him and of course for us as he's a big, big player."

Nakamba will be available for Tuesday's match against Sheffield United after serving his one-game suspension against Newcastle on Sunday.

Nakamba will not be available Saturday against Newcastle, as his suspension due to picking up his fifth yellow card of the season against Manchester City has been carried over after the match against Bournemouth was postponed.

Nakamba is an option for Saturday's match against Newcastle after serving his one-match ban against Bournemouth due to yellow card accumulation.

Nakamba was shown his fifth yellow card during Sunday's match against Manchester City.
