Doku out for 2-3 weeks with calf injury, says Maresca
Enzo Maresca says Jeremy Doku faces around two to three weeks out with a calf problem after he reported pain at half-time, with the player initially due to play only 45 minutes.
On Friday, Enzo Maresca said Jeremy Doku faces around two to three weeks out with a calf injury. According to Sam Lee, Doku reported pain at half-time, leading staff to set an early, conservative timeline for his absence.
Maresca indicated the plan had been to limit Doku to 45 minutes, and the present expectation is that the issue should sideline him for no longer than three weeks, the report adds.
The timeframe amounts to an initial assessment rather than a fixed return date and may be refined following routine checks. No further information on any scans or a precise schedule has been disclosed.
If that outlook holds, Doku would be unavailable for the immediate run of fixtures before being reassessed as his recovery progresses. Maresca’s comments point to a short-term setback rather than a prolonged spell out.
