Huddersfield's Nigeria-Eligible Midfielder In Contention To Make Injury Return Vs Chelsea

Published: February 01, 2019

Denmark U21 star of Nigerian descent, Philip Billing is in contention to make a return from injury when Huddersfield Town tackle Chelsea in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

The central midfielder did not feature for the Terriers in the league matches against Manchester City and Everton as he was recovering from a knee complaint.

Providing an injury update ahead of tomorrow's trip to Stamford Bridge, manager Jan Siewert said at Thursday's press conference : ''He trained yesterday (Wednesday) and he made a good impression, so hopefully he can train today just as well.

"I am looking forward - he is a part of the squad."

The 22-year-old Billing has been one of the shining lights for Huddersfield in a disappointing season and had started 21 games prior to his spell on the sidelines.
