PHIL PARKINSON has provided an update on his walking wounded as the race to be fit for the Reds’ big FA Cup tie at Blackburn Rovers hots up. Anthony Forde (back), Tom O’Connor (slight fracture in foot) and Steven Fletcher (calf) picked up injuries last week and missed Saturday’s 1-0 Welsh derby at Newport County along with Andy Cannon who took a blow to the head in the 2-0 victory over AFC Wimbledon the previous weekend and wasn’t risked..
Jordan Davies (heel) is also currently sidelined, although Eoghan O’Connell made his comeback as a substitute at Rodney Parade and fellow centre-backs Jordan Tunnicliffe and Aaron Hayden, who have been out of action, got a run-out in yesterday’s behind-closed doors reserve team game at Huddersfield Town.
