Alun Armstrong looks likely to miss Town's friendly with Bristol Rovers after having his second injection for a back injury. Armstrong was the only Town player to score in the correct net during the Denmark tour.

The former Middlesbrough and Stockport striker has had a niggly back problem for some while and hopes this latest course of injections will sort it for good.

Meanwhile John McGreal should be involved in the Bristol games after recovering from his ankle problem inflicted by a bad Stefan Schmidt tackle at AaB on Tuesday.

Ulrich Le Pen has a suspected broken toe while Darren Bent is also suffering with a toe injury.

Finidi George and Marcus Bent both have hamstring injuries and Mark Venus has a knee problem.

Darren Ambrose has a thigh injury and Thomas Gaardsøe has a groin strain.

Hermann Hreidarsson will be back in the squad for the Bristol friendlies after missing out in Denmark to be with his wife and newborn baby.
