Ola Aina Injury: Progressing well in return

Aina played with the B team Monday in his recovery from a long-term hamstring injury. According to manager Sean Dyche, Aina is "fine and injury-free" and it's another "step forward."

Aina has been ramping up his work the last couple weeks and a start with the B squad is a positive sign heading into the holidays. While he probably won't be ready for the senior team the next couple matches, it wouldn't be surprising to see him back in full training with the senior team with a bench appearance in the near future. His return would likely hurt playing time for both Oleksandr Zinchenko and Nicolo Savona.
