Neal Ardley update on injured Notts County duo

Notts County manager Neal Ardley has issued an update on the estimated return times for Lewis Alessandra and Enzio Boldewijn.

The two attacking players suffered knee injuries in November and are sidelined on a long-term basis, but their new boss is positive to see them back early next year.

"It will probably be three weeks before Lewi is back into training, so he's edging ever closer," Ardley told the official Notts website.

"Enzio could be back in and around training from the very end of January to mid-February. With the type of injury he's had you just have to play it by ear.

"We'll push to get them back soon but we need to make sure they don't break down again."

Up next for Notts is a trip to Grimsby Town in the first of five games between this weekend and the 5th of January.
