Skipper Jim Magilton, Kevin Horlock and Adam Proudlock all missed training yesterday. Magilton's arthritic toe kept him on the sidelines, while Proudlock and Horlock continue to have knee problems.
Magilton is expected to be OK to face QPR on Saturday and Town are hopeful on Proudlock, however Horlock is likely to be rested.
Better news is that Owen Garvan and Ian Westlake trained on Tuesday after coming through Monday's 3-0 reserve victory against Norwich City.
New Norwegian recruit Vemund Brekke Skard will be back at the club and in light training on Thursday after his recent groin operation. Skard will sign his Town contract next week and is expected to be fit in time to start his Town career in January.
