Elliott Embleton and Corry Evans should both be able to contribute in the Championship run-in, according to Michael Beale, even if neither is currently close to making a first-team comeback.
After sustaining an ACL injury in January of last year, Evans has been absent, and Elliot Embleton sustained a serious thigh injury a few weeks into his loan at Derby County. The offensive midfielder has just made a quick recovery from a broken leg he sustained at Hull City in the latter part of 2022.
Beale has confirmed that both are out doing individual work at the Academy of Light, meaning that they are making encouraging progress in their return. However, it is likely to be at least the latter stages of next month before either could realistically be pushing for a first-team return with Beale warning that minor setbacks are inevitable along the way given the length of their respective absences.
