Midfielder Andy Drury is available for Saturday's home game with Blackburn having overcome the calf injury which has kept him out of action since the Southend friendly.

Manager Paul Jewell said: “Andy trained yesterday, we had a hard session and he came through that and trained this morning. As long as there’s no reaction to his calf, he’ll be in contention.”

The Town boss is still waiting for Damien Delaney to return from Republic of Ireland duty in Serbia - where he was an unused sub - but his other two internationals are back at the club and fine: “Josh Carson came through training this morning after playing in the second half for Northern Ireland last night. Damien’s still away, Ronan Murray didn’t play and he’s OK, so everyone’s OK.”

Aside from summer signing Elliott Hewitt, who is sidelined until September due to the hip impingement operations he underwent while with Macclesfield, Jewell has a full strength squad.

muhrensleftfoot added 13:38 - Aug 16 Leave Drury on the bench. Hyam and Luongo looked good on Tuesday. I would keep it unchanged, but suspect PJ may rest Scotland & put him on the bench, to be super sub if we need rescuing later in the game. In which case Carson in, playing wide and Martin moving central behind Chopra.

RYITFC added 13:57 - Aug 16 I think Hyam and Luongo have earned the right to start as the midfield pairing. Drury would be a decent option from the bench either in the middle or out wide.

StowTractorBoy added 13:58 - Aug 16 I am sure we will revert back to 4-2-3-1 on Saturday as Blackburn will be stiffer opposition than Bristol Rovers. This system definitely works for us and will continue to do so until we get a big striker in.
