Chris Richards Injury: Option, not ready to start

Richards (ankle) is an option for Wednesday's match against Aston Villa but is not yet ready to start, according to manager Oliver Glasner. "Let's talk about the good news, Chris is back. He is not able to start, but he will be on the bench."

Richards is finally back from his ankle injury after three games out and is ready for the team sheet, an option to face Villa. However, the defender will be limited, as he is not ready to start and will instead serve off the bench. Either way, this is good news for the defender, as he will likely test his legs before returning to a starting role next contest.
