Fleetwood manager Graham Alexander has expressed his sympathy over Youl Mawene's ongoing injury nightmare.
Former Derby and Preston centre-back Mawene was one of the Cod Army's leading performers during the opening months of the season, but a broken foot and subsequent setbacks during rehabilitation mean he is yet to play since Alexander arrived as Micky Mellon's successor at the Highbury Stadium early in December. "We're unsure with Youl because he comes back and trains with us for a few weeks and then just gets a little setback," said Alexander, a former team-mate of the 33-year-old at Deepdale. "It's difficult for Youl at the minute because he's a person who does everything right, professionally, away from the pitch. "It's just that he keeps on picking up little injuries and it's through no want of trying to be fit. He's a fantastic professional but he's just been extremely unlucky. "We're still waiting to see if he'll be able to play a part before the end of the season."
