Omole ruptured his ACL pretty badly, won’t be playing again until next season. Conroy is back from injury but whether he’s fit enough to play we’ll see tomorrow.
Where did you get this info from?
Not doubting you in any way but one of my bug bears with the club is the secrecy around players fitness. It's as if everyone knows who is injured so no one bothers to ask in the interviews.

The news about Omole came from one of the interviews with KB either before or after a game and I think it was another interview last week when KB said that Conroy was fit again. But yes, I agree with you re secrecy over injuries. There is no need to go into detail if we are worried about giving information away to other teams, but when the team is announced on a Saturday or Tuesday, a brief “player X took a knock in training” etc would help dispel some of the conspiracy theories we see here and on other social media.

Hi Jim, Conroy info was from Betsy’s preview for today’s game and Omole was also one of the club videos from a while ago.
Be interesting to see if we see James in our shade of red again. Betsy knows the Balagizi family and has worked with him since the age of 15.
I don't think what has happened would have been the original plan of the Liverpool academy managers but let's hope they think a relegation dogfight will be the making of him and that any instability here will be not a big factor
He is on a season long loan, so I expect him back once his injury has cleared up. Let's face it, the medical facilities at Liverpool will be infinitely better than what we have, so hopefully he won't be missing for too long.
I know there will probably be recall clauses in the loan deal, but PL clubs seem happy to let their academy kids stay out on loan as long as they are getting game time. Balagizi was definitely getting that with us, arguably our best player so far this season. Let's hope it's not a serious injury.
Yup there will almost certainly be a half year recall option, as of course there will be for Kwesi if the new manager thinks he can make a difference here
