Boss Roy Keane has denied a report claiming that he has had a bust-up with skipper Gareth McAuley. One of this morning's tabloids claimed that the Town manager was ready to sell the Northern Ireland international in the wake of the alleged row.
Keane said: "Gareth's been fine. I find him a good lad, a good professional. He was on the bench the other day and he probably thinks he was unlucky to be on the bench. No, there's been no bust-up with Gareth.
"I've had some good chats with Gareth and he's a good player. I've a lot of time for Gareth."
McAuley, Colin Healy, Pablo Counago, Damien Delaney and Ed Upson are all likely to be involved at some stage during Tuesday's trip to Peterborough in the Carling Cup, when the Blues boss says he is likely to make fewer changes than for the Shrewsbury game. Town will again be without Jaime Peters (ankle) and David Norris (knee).
Keane has reiterated that he is looking to add two or three players to his squad before the transfer window closes next Tuesday: "I'm hoping that it might be a busy few days ahead."
But the Blues boss says no moves are currently close to completion in either direction.
