Connor Roberts News: Recovering from muscular issue

Roberts has been recovering from a muscular issue, according to manager Scott Parker. "Connor played this morning in a game. I think he got about 65 to 70 minutes, so that was pleasing."

Roberts missed the opening friendlies but has been back in action in recent matches, including 70 minutes against Stoke. The defender has competition for his place in the starting XI from new addition Kyle Walker, which could limit his minutes even when fit.
