Preston North End manager Paul Heckingbottom expects to have the same squad available against Charlton Athletic this weekend.
Jamal Lewis is out for the season while Ali McCann, Callum Lang and Robbie Brady are not in line for returns at The Valley. Midfielder Jordan Thompson will be back in the fold after serving his three-match suspension.
“He was playing his way into some good form, and then we were all frustrated to lose him the way we did,” said Heckingbottom to iFollow PNE. “The team's done well without him, winning, two draws.
“But I can't say he's not been missed because he has, whether it is starting games or coming on from the bench. He'd definitely have been on the pitch at some point on Monday. So, he's been missed but we've got him back now.”
Here is our predicted PNE XI to start against the Addicks...
1. GK: Daniel Iversen
A very straightforward prediction. | CameraSport - Richard Martin-Roberts
2. RCB: Jordan Storey
His spot doesn't look in danger and the type of game could well suit him. | Local Library
3. CB: Lewis Gibson
Lyndon Dykes is a big, physical presence and dangerous in the air, so Liam Lindsay could be in line for a return. But, we will back Gibson to retain his spot. | CameraSport - Rich Linley
