Nigel Pearson is set to welcome Alex Scott back to his matchday squad for Saturday’s Championship trip to Watford and has revealed that fellow midfielder Joe Williams could still play a part in the final stages of the season.
Scott has missed City’s last three games due to a knee injury sustained while on international duty with England Under-20s but has successfully trained this week and is in contention to feature at Vicarage Road this weekend.
The 19-year-old, who has made 37 league starts this term, second only to Zak Vyner’s 40 across the whole squad, will be under a similar minutes restriction to recent injury returnees Tommy Conway and Kal Naismith, with Pearson anticipating Scott being able to play around 60 minutes, if selected.
