Huddersfield manager David Wagner optimistic Kasey Palmer's hamstring injury is not as bad as first feared

Huddersfield midfielder Kasey Palmer could return to action before the end of October, head coach David Wagner has revealed.

Wagner gave the latest update on the injured Chelsea loanee, who had been expected to be out until the new year, at a press conference before Tuesday night's Carabao Cup tie at Crystal Palace.

Palmer suffered a recurrence of an old hamstring injury while on recent international duty with England Under-21s.
