Finds bench role
Branthwaite (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Chelsea.
Analysis: Branthwaite is back in the squad for Saturday's clash but starts on the bench after missing the previous match due to an undisclosed injury, with the staff opting to ease him back into action. The defender has already missed significant time this season due to a nagging hamstring injury and has been limited to just seven appearances, and could see minutes depending on the match scenario.
Status unclear for Saturday
Branthwaite (undisclosed) could be available for Saturday's game against Chelsea, according to manager David Moyes. "Both hopefully will be in and around the squad tomorrow. We did great without them, so, if we didn't have them, I'd be fine - but we've got them back amongst it, I think."
Analysis: Branthwaite didn't play against Arsenal due to an undisclosed injury, and Moyes' words make it sound as if the defender could be available to return Saturday, although a final call will be made closer to Saturday's contest. Branthwaite has missed considerable time this season due to a nagging hamstring injury, and he's been limited to just seven appearances (five starts) in the current Premier League campaign.
