Blackpool and injuries didn't go well together last season and that misfortune has only carried into the following campaign.
The Seasiders have already had their fair share of injuries troubles in the early stages of this season but positive signs on a couple of key players means the list has shortened somewhat.
Richard Keogh has now departed for Ipswich Town after he was struggling following an injury picked up in pre-season, whilst Jordan Gabriel and James Husband both made returns from injury against Barrow in the Carabao Cup in midweek and Gabriel got further minutes from the bench against Swansea and QPR.
Keshi Anderson remains the standout absentee as he continues his recovery from an MCL injury that was given an initial prognosis of a couple of months recovery time, although he has now been joined by Charlie Patino and Lewis Fiorini.
