Arsenal allow loan club to play striker for 30 minutes | OneFootball

Arsenal have given Doncaster Rovers permission to play Tyreece John-Jules this weekend for the first time since his injury, but only for 30 minutes.

Back in January, Tyreece John-Jules picked up a serious hamstring injury whilst on loan with Doncaster Rovers. Three months later, it looks like he’s finally ready to make his return to the pitch for the League One club in their end of season run-in.

Earlier this month, Rovers boss Andy Butler had told the media that they were set to get John-Jules back on April 12th. Obviously, it was too soon for the striker to be involved in their game on the 13th the next day, but after a positive week of training he was ready for this weekend.

Butler told the media they had specific instructions from Arsenal on how long to use the 20-year-old for, which they were keen to respect.

“He’s coming on really well,” Butler said. “He’s looking fit and sharp in training and he’s eager to get going.
