Hurst Expecting Edwards and Donacien to Be Fit to Face Villa - Ipswich Town News

Blues boss Paul Hurst expects Gwion Edwards and Janoi Donacien to be available for selection for Saturday’s home game against Aston Villa.

Winger Edwards missed the trip to Exeter with a quad problem, while right-back Donacien was subbed at half-time against the Grecians.

"He’s done a bit of the training today, hopefully there’s no reaction to that,” Hurst said regarding Edwards.

"If there isn’t and he gets through training tomorrow then he’ll be available for selection, which is obviously what we’d all like.”

As for Donacien, he added: "I think it was probably the right decision to take him off but he has trained today, he’s done the full session.

"Again, I’ll speak with [physios] Chris Skitt and Matt Byard regarding that and how we feel it’s settled. But again the signs are positive.

"Everyone else is OK other than the long-term like Tom Adeyemi [achilles], Luke Woolfenden’s out [knee]. Emyr Huws isn’t up for selection but has trained again today, he’s feeling quite positive, hopefully that can continue.

"And then Rowey and Bish were positives from the other night but wouldn’t be considered to start, but they’ve been out there again, so on that side we’re looking like we’re going in the right direction.”
