In yesterday’s press conference, King confirmed that Oliver Skipp will miss out on a second game following a midweek injury at Wrexham:
“Obviously, we will be without Oliver Skipp because of the concussion at Wrexham, but hopefully he will be back after this weekend.”
In addition to this, longer-term absentees include Harry Souttar, Aaron Ramsey, and now Jordan James. On a more positive note, Victor Kirstanse is back, with King saying, ” [It] is a good boost for us.”
With King now in the hot seat, change could be on the horizon as several academy players trained in mid-week.
