Tony Mowbray has explained why Eliezer Mayenda was not on the bench on Saturday, despite plans to have him in the matchday squad...
HAMSTRING NIGGLE
"It's a very, very minor setback. I think he probably could have been on the bench but if he's telling the medical department he's feeling his hamstring a little bit, even though he finished the whole training session on Friday, I made the call."
NEARLY READY
"He's nearly there, he's nearly ready, he's done three or four full training sessions and played an Under-21s game against Hibs. He'll be in and around it over the next week or two, I'm sure."
NOT WORTH THE GAMBLE
"If he's feeling his hamstring and telling the medical department, I don't think it's worth the gamble. It just wasn't worth the gamble of throwing him in if he's feeling anything, so we left him out."
