Option for play

Alderete (undisclosed) is an option for play again as the club prepares to face Nottingham Forest on Friday, according to manager Regis Le Bris. "For Omar, it was just that point. Last week we were just on the edge, so we didn't mention it, but it was important for the game, and it should be OK for tomorrow."

Analysis: Alderete had to leave the last match early, but is already back in the saddle and set to play, with the defender deemed fit again. The club receives a major boost in the backline as their primary defender returns to action, likely to return to a starting role. He has shown his worth since joining the club this campaign, recording two goal contributions and eight clean sheets in 29 appearances (28 starts).

Exits match early

Alderete was forced off the field in the 63rd minute due to an apparent injury.

Analysis: Alderete would exit the match just after halftime Sunday, appearing to pull up with an injury and ask for a substitute. This could be a rough loss for the club if he remains out, without one of their top defenders. He was replaced by Daniel Ballard, who would likely start next to Luke O'Nien if Alderete missed further time.
