Still in need of time

Janelt (foot) is hopeful to return this season but is still weeks away, according to manager Keith Andrews. "Vitaly just isn't ready right now, we'll see... we've got five or six weeks left of the season, and hopefully [he] can play a part."

Analysis: Janelt is still working on a return and is not yet an option, with the midfielder seemingly trending towards a return in May. Unfortunately for the club, this continues a rough absence for them, as they have been without a starting midfielder for over a month, trending towards two. More should come in the next few weeks on his status, likely to eye a return near the start of May.

Weeks away from return

Janelt (foot) is likely to miss a few more weeks of action, according to manager Keith Andrews. "Vitaly will probably be a bit further away. It's a different type of injury and a different length. I don't know exactly how many weeks... but it'll be a good few weeks away, I imagine."

Analysis: Janelt was already likely to miss further time, and that is coming to fruition, as the midfielder is now expected to miss a few more weeks. Unfortunately, this is a rough loss for the club as they lose a starter for more time after already missing the past five games with little follow-up on the stage of his injury. His loss will continue to force a change for the time being, with Jordan Henderson and Mathias Jensen likely to serve as starting defensive midfielders while he is out.
