Town manager Paul Lambert says new loan signing Callum Elder had no hesitation in wanting to join the Blues on loan from Leicester City despite their perilous position at the bottom of the Championship. Australian left-back Elder, 23, joined Town on loan for the rest of the season earlier in the week.

Midfielder Cole Skuse joined in training for the first time since undergoing minor knee surgery before Christmas and he and Emyr Huws could be back in the squad for next week’s home game against Rotherham, while Jon Nolan may return for Saturday’s FA Cup tie at Accrington Stanley.

Boss Paul Lambert has confirmed that Leicester’s Callum Elder is imminently set to join the Blues on loan as cover for Jonas Knudsen, who seems set to depart in January with the Danish international’s contract up at the end of the season, a situation the Town manager says should never have been allowed to develop.

TWTD understands Leicester City’s Australian left-back Callum Elder has been training with the Blues with a view to joining on loan when the January transfer window opens, while free agent winger Simon Dawkins has also been with the Town squad for the last couple of weeks as he looks to win a deal.

SWINDON Town lost 1-0 to League One leaders Hull City on Saturday after an early Greg Docherty goal settled matters at the KCOM Stadium.

Hull enjoyed the majority of the chances on home soil, and perhaps should have made life more comfortable for themselves. However, the Tigers held on to h...
