Midfielder Gavin Williams and defender Richard Naylor are both back in full training and close to a return to first team action. Williams has been out with a pelvic injury and Naylor with a badly bruised toe.

Williams told the club site: "I'm training now with the first team squad and want to get back playing again as soon as I can.

"Everything is going fine now and it's just a case of getting up to match fitness."

Fabian Wilnis came through 90 minutes against Ipswich Wanderers for the reserves on Wednesday and is likely to be in the squad for Saturday's game at home to Southend.
