Not an option Saturday

Doherty (undisclosed) is ruled out for Saturday's clash against Leeds United.

Analysis: Doherty has been unable to pass his late fitness test despite manager Rob Edwards confirming he had been training for the past few days and pushing to be available. The club weighed up the risk and ultimately decided against including him in the matchday squad after just one game out. He has started only 10 games all season, limiting the immediate impact of his absence, with his availability for the coming fixtures to be monitored as the undisclosed issue continues to be assessed.

Late call to face Leeds

Doherty (undisclosed) is a late call for Saturday's match against Leeds United, according to manager Rob Edwards, per Liam Keen of the Express and Star. "Doc has trained last couple days, but we're weighing up the risk, he's pushing, we'll make a late call. Everyone else is good."

Analysis: Doherty is going to need some testing in the build-up to Saturday's contest, as after training the past few days, he is fit enough to be considered a late call. This is good news for the defender, with a return seeming to be soon after only one game out. If he is fit, the defender is likely to remain a depth option from the bench, only starting in 10 games all season, while going unused consistently.
