Update emerges on Carel Eiting’s current status at Huddersfield Town ahead of Millwall clash

Huddersfield are gunning for a surprise promotion in the Championship this campaign and the good news for boss Carlos Corberan is that most of his current squad are fit.

The bad news is that, as reported by Yorkshire Live, the one player they could be without for the Millwall game is Carel Eiting.

Eiting was brought in from Genk in January after previously playing for the side on loan. At just 24-years-old, he looks likely to feature in the club’s midfield for the foreseeable future and has already racked up nearly 30 appearances for Carlos Corberan’s team over his two stints there.

Whether he plays this week or not, he will likely be a valuable option for the side going forward though, as the Terriers aim to try and secure that spot back in the Premier League for the next campaign.

The Verdict

While it isn’t a serious injury and is one that could heal quite quickly, they might not want
