Thomas Frank reports that Destiny Udogie 'is in a good place' although not quite ready to return for our huge Premier League clash at Manchester City on Saturday (12.30pm).
The flying full-back has been out since feeling his knee during the warm up before our pre-season friendly against Luton Town on 26 July.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon, Thomas gave this update: "Destiny is better, he's trained with the team twice, full training, but just too short to be involved at City. We want him to train tomorrow and have another good week next week, but he's in a good place, we're very positive about him."
Thomas also told the media that Yves Bissouma 'will miss this game' and had a further update on Dejan Kulusevski, who has been sidelined since the end of last season. "Kulusevski is out. It's a longer one. I don't want to put a time frame on it."
Longer-term injured James Maddison, Radu Dragusin and Kota Takai remain out.
