Preston North End get back to work against Cardiff City on Saturday afternoon.
The Lilywhites will look to pick up where they left off, having won consecutive league games prior to the international break. PNE could welcome back Andrew Hughes and Jack Whatmough from injury, but Ali McCann, Greg Cunningham and Emil Riis will remain out.
With Alan Browne, Milutin Osmajic, Kian Best and Liam Millar having all gone away with their countries over the break, Lowe must take into account their recent workloads and sharpness for Saturday. Below is our guess at Preston's team to take on the Bluebirds!
5. LB: Kian Best
Had a busy week away with England Under-19s but should be ready to go, having been a substitute in the Young Lions' last match. Hughes still seems touch and go and Best is flying confidence wise. | CameraSport - Dave Howarth
6. CM: Ben Whiteman
Has been a regular since returning from injury and that should continue this weekend. Must help PNE win the midfield battle. | CameraSport - Dave Howarth
7. CM: Alan Browne
Was only a substitute in Ireland's last game and is performing brilliantly for his club, so hopefully the skipper is good to go again. | Getty Images
8. RM: Duane Holmes
Been a great signing for Preston so far and - wherever he plays - an onus will be on him to cause Cardiff's defence problems. | CameraSport - Dave Howarth
