Preston North End manager Paul Heckingbottom should have his options boosted for Saturday’s match against Wrexham.
Andrija Vukcevic and Harrison Armstrong are said to be back in contention, after respective hamstring and groin issues. The Montenegrin defender is going to be eased back into the fold after five weeks out, mind.
One player who does drop out is Jamal Lewis. The Northern Ireland international tweaked his hamstring last time out and joins Lewis Gibson, Robbie Brady, Brad Potts, Ali McCann and Milutin Osmajic on the sidelines.
Most of the starting lineup at Sheffield Wednesday, last weekend, are likely to retain their places. Pol Valentin may come in at right wing-back and Heckingbottom could be tempted to switch things up in midfield.

5. RWB: Pol Valentin
It could be Odel Offiah again. But, the Spaniard did well of the bench last weekend and offers a threat going forward. With Coventry on Tuesday night and the dangerous attackers they possess, a fresh Offiah could be useful. | CameraSport - Richard Martin-Roberts

6. CM: Ben Whiteman
Was back in the side last weekend after suspension and on the score sheet. Surely nailed on for a start. | CameraSport - Richard Martin-Roberts

7. CM: Jordan Thompson
Harrison Armstrong wasn't even in the squad last weekend but if he's trained all week and looks fine, it'd be little surprise to see the Everton loan man started. Stefan Thordarson is another option but Heckingbottom spoke about the right/left foot balance that Thompson brings. | Getty Images

8. LWB: Thierry Small
With Vukcevic unlikely to be thrust straight back in and Lewis out, along with Brady, the number 26 is the obvious selection. | CameraSport - Rich Linley
