“It’s taking a little bit longer to clear up than we’d like but it’s one of those things. It needs a bit more time.
“He’s had a bit of a sciatica problem. It’s a bit of a nerve problem that’s been causing some pain in his hamstring and calf.
"So it’s just trying to settle that and then load it as well so we can nip it in the bud.

Charlie Seaman is also unlikely to feature this weekend.
“Charlie’s just got a pain just above his knee,” said McSheffrey. “He got it in the warm-up at Portsmouth having a shot.
"He tried training on Monday but just hobbled off. He did a little bit today but I’m not sure what the extent of it is and he’s not right yet.”
