With such head injuries, a player has to go through the required checks before being allowed to resume training once more, and with those having been met, Kabore can return to the squad.
Although Town can welcome the defender back, boss Rob Edwards is waiting on positive news surrounding a few other un-named members of his squad who are doubts for the fixture, as he said: “Issa will be back after his concussion for us which is a positive for us.

"We’ve had a bit of an up and down week, we’ve had one or two and I won’t give too many names away now for obvious reasons, we’re still managing then and they are little doubts as well this week. So overall the training’s been good, but there's just one or two that we’re going to have to see whether they’ll be ready or not.”
