“Francisco Sierralta similarly picked up a hamstring injury during his time away with Chile, ruling him out of contention for a return to domestic duty this weekend.
“Elsewhere fellow defender Christian Kabasele is progressing well in his recovery from a hamstring strain, with the 30-year-old now running outside and hoping to re-join the squad for full training in the next two weeks.
“Ken Sema – who withdrew from the Sweden squad with an MCL injury to his knee ahead of the international break – is working hard on his rehabilitation and will look to begin outside running next week.
“German youth international Kwadwo Baah has undergone surgery on his fractured ankle and is in the process of beginning his rehab, while long-term absentee Peter Etebo is working hard on his recovery in the gym.
