6. Will Keane - Out
There is still no timeframe over a potential return for Keane, who is yet to feature for PNE this season. The forward sustained a calf injury in pre-season, which continues to rule him out. | Getty Images Photo: Matt McNulty/Getty Images
7. Lee Buchanan - Out
The defender has missed the past eight months of action due to a knee injury sustained last term. Buchanan has been left out of Birmingham’s 25-man EFL squad, meaning he won’t feature until the New Year at the earliest. | Getty Images
8. Jordan Thompson - Out
Thompson will be eager to show the Deepdale faithful his qualities following his summer move from Stoke. The midfielder is still yet to feature for PNE but is in non-contact training, according to Heckingbottom. | Ian Robinson
