I wouldn't play Stephens against Burton unless he's 100 percent ready, and even then I might err on the side of caution by having him on the bench. I would hope we can beat Burton without him and then he can start against Ipswich, because we need the strongest midfield possible with Tom Lawrence...
Exactly. The only way Stephens will get a contract with a Premier League club next season is by proving his quality AND fitness over the rest of this season.
