What happened?
Defender Sam Stubbs missed Shrewsbury Town's final pre-season outing with a minor injury. Stubbs was absent for Saturday's victory over Aston Villa's youngsters after featuring regularly throughout pre-season.
Why it matters for Shrewsbury
The injury is not a major concern, according to Cowan. "He just had a little bit of a niggle in the week. So, we're just managing it," Cowan said.
What comes next?
Cowan is hopeful that Stubbs will be available for selection soon. "It'll be a big week for them. I'm obviously the optimist because I'm always wanting them to be fit and available," Cowan added.
Shrewsbury Town is set to face Oldham in their next fixture on February 27, 2027, and Cowan is confident that Stubbs will be back in action soon. With the competitive campaign beginning in the Carabao Cup next Saturday, Cowan is hopeful that all three injured players, including Stubbs, Jack Price, and Luca Hoole, will be available for selection.
