Impact Bailey was forced off early in Saturday's victory, with the attacker looking to be dealing with a muscular issue. That has come to fruition, as he has been diagnosed with a hamstring issue.

Impact Philogene suffered the injury in training Wednesday, but it doesn't seem as if it's anything serious. With Leon Bailey (hamstring) also being a massive doubt for the match against Everton on Sep. 14 following the international break, Philogene's potential return to fitness could open him a spot on the bench. He's logged 16 minutes off the bench across the first three matches of the season.
