Huddersfield Town midfielder Alex Vallejo suffers injury setback
The Terriers are preparing to host Birmingham City in a league fixture tomorrow night but will be without Vallejo, who has not played since being substituted in the second half of the 3-2 win over Blackburn Rovers at the end of September.
Head coach Carlos Corberan expects the Spaniard, who scored in the victory over Blackburn, to miss approximately another two weeks of action.
"Alex Vallejo has taken half a step back," said Corberan.
