Preston North End midfielder Ali McCann looks doubtful for Saturday’s trip to Norwich City.
The number eight was forced off mid way through Wednesday’s clash at Coventry City, which resulted in a 3-0 defeat for Paul Heckingbottom’s side. The Lilywhites head to Carrow Road searching for their first win in seven matches.
PNE’s boss could well make changes elsewhere, with former Norwich loan man Lewis Dobbin potentially returning to the side. Deadline day recruit, Andrew Moran, also looked bright off the bench in midweek and will be pushing for his first Preston start.
Here is our predicted PNE XI to start against the Canaries...
5. RWB: Brad Potts
It's a quick turnaround and the number 44 could well come in to freshen things up down the right. | CameraSport - Ian Cook
6. CM: Ben Whiteman
The captain spoke about the last few weeks not being good enough, in midweek, and will be desperate to lead the team to a result. | CameraSport - Richard Martin-Roberts
7. CM: Jordan Thompson
Looks nailed on for a start in Norfolk given Ali McCann's injury. | CameraSport - Shaun Brooks
8. LWB: Andrija Vukcevic
Thierry Small got the nod on Wednesday but Vukcevic could come back in for this one. | CameraSport - Alex Dodd
