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...
5. RWB: Brad Potts
Scored on Monday and will hope to stay in the XI, but a move out to the right wouldn't be a huge shock. Odel Offiah came off with a hamstring issue and Potts has superior height to Pol Valentin, which could help defensively. | Local Library
6. LWB: Andrija Vukcevic
At the moment you would expect the Montenegrin to get the nod over Thierry Small, who had a difficult moment against QPR. But, we've seen Small started in recent away games so you wouldn't rule out Heckingbottom backing him from the off. | CameraSport - Rich Linley
7. CM: Ben Whiteman
No chance of him losing his spot in midfield. | CameraSport - Lee Parker
8. CM: Alfie Devine
Jordan Thompson is back in the fold but Devine has done pretty well alongside Whiteman. | Local Library
