Town boss Kieran McKenna says he would be surprised if left-back Leif Davis isn’t ready to make his return after the international break and hasn’t ruled him out for Saturday’s trip to Swansea, the 25-year-old having missed this evening’s 1-1 draw with Watford.

Davis was replaced in the second half at QPR on Saturday with a hamstring injury which McKenna says isn’t too significant.

“We don’t know,” he said when asked how long Davis might be out. “It’s not like a very serious hamstring.

“We’ve an international break coming up and I’d be surprised if he wasn’t back after that. For Saturday, we’ll have to wait and see over the next couple of days.”

Davis was replaced by Ben Johnson, who was subbed in the 79th minute as he was exhausted.

“He did a good job,” McKenna continued. “Of course, it’s hard to replicate Leif’s qualities, so no one’s going to play the position quite the same, but he linked up well with Jaden [Philogene], delivered some good crosses off his right and left foot and did his defensive job well. He stepped in well.”

Bazza8564 added 08:31 - Nov 5 Personally I thought Greaves' skill and natural left sidedness looked a better fit, and he showed a real ability and willingness to get forward too....

JewellintheTown added 08:46 - Nov 5 Greaves wanted that win and was going all in for it. Paired nicely with Clarke. We're blessed to have some decent player quality and depth. Good to hear Davis injury isn't too bad. He's another that will give his all & will want to be back ASAP.

mariner added 10:49 - Nov 5 We played really well and created enough to win (Hirst had scored on both Azon-headers). Most positive is that we now are dangerous on both flanks with Walle Egeli getting "warm in his shirt" (as we say in norwegian). Both Jaden and Sindre can go both ways which is a big big plus and makes it much harder to defend against. Future looking bright
