Oxford United hope for Jack Currie & Aidomo Emakhu return

Jack Currie and Aidomo Emakhu have both missed the previous two match day squads through injury.

Currie received a kick to the ankle in the 2-0 loss against Southampton which has kept him out of action, whilst Emakhu suffered groin tendinitis as well as illness.

Ruben Roosken and Brodie Spencer have both featured in Currie’s place at left back, with the 24-year-old considered one of the U’s best players this season.

Emakhu also last featured against Saints with a late two-minute cameo having started the game prior at home to Charlton Athletic.

The Yellows are preparing to face Watford on Saturday after two draws in their last couple of Championship fixtures.

Oxford were held to a 1-1 draw against both Hull City and a 2-2 stalemate against relegation rivals Portsmouth over the Easter weekend.

“We’ve got a couple of the boys still working their way back that have missed a period of time or a small period of time,” Bloomfield confirmed.

“Aidomo and Jack have trained really well, so they’re both getting closer again to being available. I don’t think there’s anything new to report.”
