Drury rests Radulovic due to hamstring fatigue at Huddersfield

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 23 Oct, 16:03 · Archive

Huddersfield Town manager Martin Drury left striker Bojan Radulovic out of Tuesday's 4-1 victory over Peterborough United, citing hamstring fatigue.

Radulovic was dropped from the squad after playing at Plymouth Argyle on Saturday. Drury said the striker had worked at one of the highest intensity levels he has produced during his time at Huddersfield in that match, contributing to his fatigue. The manager acknowledged the decision was particularly cautious given Radulovic's history of injuries.

Drury told BBC Radio Leeds after the midweek win: 'It's not that we didn't want to, we just can't afford to risk him, he's too important to us.' He added that Radulovic himself recognised he needed to sit out the game. The manager said he made the decision 'out of respect' for the player, noting that Radulovic's previous injuries had often followed a Saturday-to-Tuesday fixture schedule.
