Defender Fabian Wilnis is back in training and is expected to be fit for Saturday's home game with Leicester City. The Dutchman hurt his foot in last week's match at Crystal Palace.

Town's head of sports science, Dave Williams, told the club site: "Fabian's improving all the time. He's back in training and should be OK for the weekend if there is no reaction."

The Blues are yet to make any decision on Richard Naylor and Owen Garvan. Town's stand-in skipper has a toe injury, while the Irish youngster left Selhurst Park with a sore knee. The duo will be assessed again on Friday.

Town's decision to allow central defender Ian Miller to join Darlington on a one-month loan spell suggests that neither Naylor's problem nor Wilnis's are huge concerns.
