Scores in Saturday's opener
Janelt scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), five crosses (four accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Tottenham Hotspur. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 78th minute.
Analysis: Janelt found the back of the net in Saturday's season opener, an unassisted strike in the 33rd minute. Despite finding the back of the net he was even more impressive from a creative perspective as he recorded four accurate crosses and created two chances on the attack. He helped his side keep a clean sheet as well, contributing four interceptions, three tackles, one clearance and one blocked shot in his full 90 minutes of action.
Ramping up fitness
Janelt is ramping up fitness as he looks to see the field this week after going unused in the last match, according to manager Keith Andrews. "Vitaly will be a little bit closer now, with another week's training under his belt. He did well to even be involved last weekend, and we wanted him to be in the squad."
Analysis: Janelt returned to the squad last week after an absence due to injury, but was not ready for play yet, instead going unused the entire 90. However, he has been training and continuing to work on his fitness levels, leaving the midfielder to possibly be an option for time Saturday. That said, the club will likely not want to push him through anything he can't manage, so a start may be held off. Either way, it looks like he should see the field, at least getting a period to test his legs.
