Steve Bruce’s pre-game press conference last week was a beacon of injury-healing hope. Not only is John Terry close to returning but so is Mile Jedinak. Despite an initial prognosis of one to three month, Jedinak’s shoulder appears to be responding to treatment. Getting his experience back over Christmas could be invaluable.
The return of Scott Hogan and Gabby Agbonlahor give Steve Bruce options as the games come thick and fast over the next few weeks.
