Makes starting XI
Doherty (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Tottenham.
Analysis: Doherty returned from an undisclosed injury that had kept him out of two matches, with manager Rob Edwards handing him a starting role after confirming he had trained all week without any issues. The defender has started 10 matches this season and steps into the center of the defense to face the Spurs. His return adds a welcome boost to a backline that had been short of options in recent weeks.
Option for Saturday
Doherty (undisclosed) is an option for Saturday's match against Tottenham, according to manager Rob Edwards, per Liam Keen of Express and Star. "Doc has trained all week, so he's available."
Analysis: Doherty is set for a return this week after some time out with an undisclosed injury, only missing two games with the knock. This will mainly give the club some more depth in the backline, starting in 10 matches this season, but going unused often. That said, he is likely to return to a bench spot if fit. However, with Ladislav Krejci's (neck) still questionable, he could see the start in the center of the defense, with Toti Gomes also an option for that time.
