Boly will not feature again this season after being left out of the club's Premier League and Europa League squads due to a knee injury, according to manager Sean Dyche, per Sarah Clapson of the Nottingham Post. "He's injured. We took him out of the squad because we have got to bring a freshness to it.He knows, he understands. It's his knee, he was struggling a bit with it but was getting on with it and seeing if he could take it further. It's just too much at the minute so he's recovering from that. But he's been great and is a top pro."
ANALYSIS
Boly is not going to be with the club for the rest of the season, as they decided it was better to let the defender focus on the recovery from a knee injury rather than push him to play again this season. The major storyline here is that Boly has potentially played his last minutes for the club, as he runs out of contract at the end of the season. He only featured off the bench once all season for a minute of play, so this will be a minor loss for the club.
