Targeting mid-October return
Osula (foot) is out of a boot and mobile again as he eyes a mid-October return, according to Craig Hope of the Daily Mail.
Analysis: Osula has received an update on his status after a foot injury took place to begin his season, as the forward is out of a boot and mobile again. This will leave him eyeing a return come the middle of October, using the September break to give him time to heal. This will be a major return for the club once fit, adding some depth back at forward as Osula, Yoane Wissa and Matias Fernandez-Pardo battle for time in that position.
Could return earlier than anticipated
Osula (foot) was expected to be sidelined for an extended period, but manager Matthias Jaissle downplayed that initial report, and the absence could be a matter of weeks, not months. "I don't know if the Danish journalists have more information than I have. I doubt that, so I will not be a participant in these rumours or in this information from a Danish journalist."
Analysis: A report from Danish outlet Viaplay suggested Osula could be in line to miss multiple months, but based on Jaissle's comments, it seems that won't be the case in the end. Osula will miss time, but there could be an outside chance he returns before the international break -- and if not, he should do so right after the break.
