Still weeks away from return
Woolfenden (knee) remains sidelined and is expected to need more time before returning to action, according to coach Frank Lampard. "Haji and Woolfy will be a bit longer but they're working hard and they're getting there."
Analysis: Woolfenden continues his recovery from a knee injury that has kept him sidelined since preseason, with his return now taking longer than initially anticipated. The defender is set to miss Monday's clash against Newcastle, and manager Frank Lampard has yet to provide a clear timeline for his comeback. Woolfenden has not featured in the Premier League this season and is expected to provide defensive depth rather than immediately challenge for a starting role once fully fit.
Won't return before break
Woolfenden (knee) is expected back after the international break, according to manager Frank Lampard.
Analysis: Woolfenden has been dealing with a knee injury since preseason, and the defender won't return to the side before the international break. He's not expected to have a big role once he's fit and ready to return, so his fantasy appeal will remain fairly low until further notice.
Sidelined with knee injury
Woolfenden is expected to be sidelined for a few more weeks while dealing with a knee injury, according to manager Frank Lampard. "[It's] a small issue with Woolfy's knee that's been bothering him through pre-season so yeah, that'll be weeks."
Analysis: Woolfenden has been bothered by the injury since preseason, and it seems a return just before the September international break might be the best possible outcome for Woolfenden if he doesn't leave the club before the end of the transfer window. The center-back is expected to be a depth option at the back for the Sky Blues, however, so his absence shouldn't be a big issue in fantasy.
