“We’ve had a couple of them back on the training pitch, which is nice, but we’ve got a lot of games coming up so we have to make sure it’s the right time if we’re going to put them back in.
“We’ll assess everyone in the morning. Because of people just getting back into training - because of injury or otherwise - we have to treat everyone on their own merits and make decisions on the long-term effects of it on that individual.
“We need to make sure we have as many players available for the vast majority of games leading up to the end of the season.”
