Burton Albion are set to welcome back midfielder Charlie Webster after a period on the sidelines due to injury, boosting the Brewers’ options in midfield ahead of their key League One fixture.
Before the ankle issue, Webster had been an important midfield presence for Burton Albion this season.
The 25-year-old has been sidelined for several weeks, with his last appearance for the club being the 15th November 2025. But recent updates from the club suggest that Webster is nearing full fitness and could potentially feature in the upcoming match against Cardiff City.
His return is expected to add creativity, energy, and stability to Burton Albion’s midfield as they aim to avoid another relegation scrap, a key absence from the side since his injury.
Webster has been a key figure in Burton Albion’s midfield when fit, contributing both defensively and in attack. Known for his vision, passing range, and ability to break lines, Webster provides the creative spark that often unlocks opposition defences, something that The Brewers have struggled with in his absence.
Since joining Burton, Webster has become a fan favourite at the club, being praised for his consistency and work rate, helping Brewers control games from midfield, while also being a driving force in their counter attacks.
Webster’s return is timely for Burton Albion, who face several challenging fixtures, both in the league and visit from Premier League side West Hame United. His presence is expected to provide competition for places in midfield, an issue Albion have not faced recently due to their vast injury list.
Supporters will be eager to see how Webster reintegrates into the side after his injury layoff. With his ability to link up play and control tempo, his return could prove pivotal in Albion’s chances of avoidng relegation come the end of the season.
