Ange Postecoglou has given a tentative update on the likely return to action for David Turnbull and Kyogo Furuhashi.
The midfielder pulled up with a hamstring injury on December 19 in the final of the League Cup with Kyogo suffering a similar injury a week later away to St Johnstone.
Postecoglou moved strongly into the transfer market to cover both positions but is starting to look forward to having serious competition for places for every position.
Ange Postecoglou on Kyogo and Turnbull: “Dave is closer because his injury happened before Kyogo. So he’s 2/3 weeks ahead.”
“They’re both in the European squad and hopefully they’re available some time for us”

No dates are mentioned but when the manager is down to discussing weeks there is a chance of seeing Turnbull before the end of this month.
Reo Hatate, Matt O’Riley, Daizen Maeda and fit again Giorgos Giakoumakis have come into the side in January and helped the hoops to start 2022 with six consecutive victories.
With Chris Jullien and Mikey Johnston back from injury Postecoglou has a first team squad of about 20 players which will be called upon with no sign of a break in the fixture schedule until the March international break.
