Jackson Irvine Injury: Aiming return in two weeks

Irvine (foot) is progressing well in his rehabilitation and is aiming to be fully integrated in two weeks, coach Alexander Blessin said in the press conference. "Jackson Irvine is back in the game now, so he's not an issue yet. We plan for him to be fully integrated in two weeks."

Irvine has been dealing with a long term foot injury but is in the final stages of rehabilitation before returning to competition. The captain is targeting a full integration with the squad within two weeks and aims to be available for the clash against Augsburg on Sept. 14. Until then, Joel Chima Fujita is expected to take on a larger role in the midfield alongside James Sands.
