Ruled out Saturday
Doherty (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Fulham, coach Vitor Pereira said in the press conference, according to Liam Keen from Express & Star.
ANALYSIS
Doherty was forced off due to injury last time out and will need time to recover from the issue since he won't be available for Saturday's clash against the Cottagers. The defender was in the starting squad in his last two appearances, therefore a change will have to be made, with Ki-Jana Hoever or Hugo Bueno as likely option to start on the right flank.

Surgery successful
Doherty underwent successful surgery on his wrist and is already training individually as he works for a return, according to Phil Hayward, the club's director of high performance. "He's desperate to get back, but obviously, we need to respect the fact that he's had surgery. There's also a lot of other associated inflammation around that area from the surgery itself, so we need to wait for that to settle down. There's obviously some healing which needs to be done on the skin surface as well. We need to get past this early stage, then we can start to really push him again. He should be absolutely fine. He should be back training pretty quickly. We can get him going fairly soon with non-contact training and doing things on the grass which don't involve a risk of him falling to maintain his fitness levels while the bone heals. Then, as soon as he's ready to go back into competition again and take full contact, he should be good to go and back at the level of fitness that he was at when he came out of the team."
