Picked for bench
Ballard (hamstring) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Aston Villa.
Analysis: Ballard is fit for Sunday but not healthy enough for the starting XI quite yet, as the defender starts on the bench. After 22 starts in 26 appearances this season, he will be expected to return to a starting role in the coming games, with Luke O'Nien taking his spot Sunday.
Available for Sunday
Ballard (hamstring) is an option for Sunday's match against Aston Villa, according to manager Regis Le Bris. "He is fully fit. He has trained normally this week, so he is available for selection."
Analysis: Ballard has missed the past two games with a hamstring injury but is set to end his absence there, as the defender has been deemed fit ahead of Sunday's outing. This is now only good news for the defender but also for the club, as he is a regular starter. He will then look to return to that starting spot immediately as they take the field Sunday, recording six clean sheet sin 26 appearances (22 starts).
