Mats Wieffer Injury: Expected to train Wednesday

Wieffer (undisclosed) missed Tuesday's 6-0 victory against Barnsley in the Carabao Cup due to a small issue but should return to training Wednesday, coach Fabian Hurzeler told the media, according to Andy Naylor of The Athletic.

Wieffer returned from a knee injury in Saturday's clash against Spurs, contributing one tackle, but he still seems to be dealing with a small issue as he missed Tuesday's big victory against Barnsley in the Cup. He is reportedly managing a minor problem and should be back in team training on Wednesday, though the midfielder will need to be monitored since the Cup match was a good opportunity to build on his fitness while getting decent minutes and he ultimately missed it.
