Nick Montgomery has provided an update on the injury status of his squad, highlighting the progress of utility player Josh Campbell, who is recovering well from an ankle injury sustained in December’s 1-0 defeat against Hearts. Additionally, there’s positive news regarding Jake Doyle-Hayes, who is expected to return to training soon after a prolonged absence since August due to an injury suffered during a match against Aston Villa.
However, January signing Luke Amos faces a setback as he picked up an injury in the recent 2-1 victory over Dundee, which will likely sideline him for a couple of weeks. Montgomery expressed disappointment for Amos, acknowledging his significant contribution to the team before the injury and hoping for a swift recovery.
Looking ahead to Saturday’s cinch Premiership match, Montgomery emphasized the importance of fielding the strongest possible team, especially after a demanding three-game week. Nectar Triantis, who has experience playing in midfield, may continue in his role as a six, a position he’s familiar with from his time at Central Coast Mariners under Montgomery’s guidance.
Montgomery stressed the significance of having a healthy squad and maintaining high fitness levels, given the team’s style of play and the availability of quality substitutes to make an impact when needed. He underlined the importance of honesty from players about their fitness levels, knowing that there’s depth in the squad to make necessary changes if required.
