Town boss Paul Lambert says right-back Kane Vincent-Young looked “incredible” having returned to training this week but is taking things slowly with the 24-year-old, whose last competitive senior game was in October 2019. Meanwhile, Lambert is waiting on Aaron Drinan ahead of Saturday’s home game with Portsmouth, while young midfielder Liam Gibbs has been ruled out, and is looking forward to “the cavalry coming” over the Christmas period.

Town boss Paul Lambert says right-back Kane Vincent-Young looked “incredible” having returned to training this week but is taking things slowly with the 24-year-old, whose last competitive senior game was in October 2019. Meanwhile, Lambert is waiting on Aaron Drinan ahead of Saturday’s home game with Portsmouth, while young midfielder Liam Gibbs has been ruled out, and is looking forward to “the cavalry coming” over the Christmas period.
Vincent-Young suffered an achilles injury in pre-season having missed most of last season after undergoing two groin operations.
He finally returned to the Playford Road turf on Monday and impressed his manager: “He was looking incredible in training. I think we’ve got to understand that when you’ve been over a year out without training, mentally that is tough, that is really, really tough.
