Gale\u2019s injury, in particular, could have been more severe.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Eoin Toal and Josh Sheehan are back available after returning from international duty with Northern Ireland and Wales respectively.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Kyle Dempsey got an hour under his belt for the B Team as the midfielder continues to build up his sharpness.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cToaly and Josh are back,\u201d Schumacher told a press conference. \u201cObviously, they didn&#8217;t feature on Monday night\u00a0for their respective countries so they&#8217;re fresh.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cThey got back to training on Tuesday,\u00a0so they&#8217;ve been good the last two days. It\u2019s good to have them back.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cEthan is probably going to be four weeks.\u00a0A bit of a thigh strain, not a mad serious one.\u00a0It&#8217;s something that he&#8217;s done before so he knows how to manage it. As I said, it&#8217;s a four-week one so it&#8217;s not going to be the end of the world.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cThe same with Thierry Gale,\u00a0he had a little bit of ligament damage.\u00a0He&#8217;s been to see the specialist and, again, we think we\u2019ll get him back\u00a0in the middle of November which is positive because with those types of injuries it could be a lot worse.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theboltonnews.co.uk\/news\/25541204.going-wrong-road-bolton-wanderers\/?ref=ial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">What&#8217;s going wrong on the road for Bolton Wanderers?<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Toal was an unused substitute in both games during the international break, while Sheehan came off the bench against England but was not used on Monday.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  When asked if they come straight back into contention for Huddersfield, the head coach replied: \u201cOf course, they&#8217;re two good players.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cToaly obviously started the season\u00a0and did really well until he went away on his international break.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cJosh has been a regular in the team,\u00a0in and out with the rest of the midfield players,\u00a0so of course they come into our thoughts.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cThey&#8217;ll come back into the squad because why wouldn&#8217;t you put\u00a0two internationals back into your squad?\u00a0They&#8217;re really good players obviously.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Aaron Morley and Ibrahim Cissoko came into the side at Burton in the absence of Erhahon and Gale, and Schumacher insists that injuries are a chance for others in the squad to step up and show what they can do.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cWhenever you have any injury to any position in the squad, the lads who have been waiting patiently or haven&#8217;t played \u2013 it\u2019s an opportunity to stake a claim, that&#8217;s why you have a squad,\u201d he added.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cThat&#8217;s why you have to keep going over it with the players, that they will get opportunities when they least expect them.\u00a0And when you do get them, you&#8217;ve got to be ready to take them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The pair missed the trip to Burton Albion with thigh and knee injuries respectively.
