“Jack’s doing very well,” said Ten Hag. “He was with us on the [pre-season] tour and is progressing very well, but [being in the squad] is also to do with injuries we have in midfield.
“Even players like Dan Gore and Toby Collyer, unfortunately, also picked up injuries. But we have to deal with it and [Jack] is coming and developing very well. He will get inspiration from [being in the squad], but he has to be ready, because when you’re on the bench, you can be picked and you have to contribute. We are confident he can do it.”
If he appears during the game, our No.57 would become the club’s 252nd Academy graduate to represent the first-team.
Toby Collyer became the 251st in August, with Ethan Wheatley, also among the subs for today’s game, the milestone 250th towards the end of last season.
