Option for Saturday
Doherty (undisclosed) is an option for Saturday's match against Tottenham, according to manager Rob Edwards, per Liam Keen of Express and Star. "Doc has trained all week, so he's available."
Analysis: Doherty is set for a return this week after some time out with an undisclosed injury, only missing two games with the knock. This will mainly give the club some more depth in the backline, starting in 10 matches this season, but going unused often. That said, he is likely to return to a bench spot if fit. However, with Ladislav Krejci's (neck) still questionable, he could see the start in the center of the defense, with Toti Gomes also an option for that time.
Not an option Saturday
Doherty (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Leeds United.
Analysis: Doherty has been unable to pass his late fitness test despite manager Rob Edwards confirming he had been training for the past few days and pushing to be available. The club weighed up the risk and ultimately decided against including him in the matchday squad after just one game out. He has started only 10 games all season, limiting the immediate impact of his absence, with his availability for the coming fixtures to be monitored as the undisclosed issue continues to be assessed.
