Youngster Matt Richards has been called-up to the Town squad ahead of Saturday's opening League fixture at Walsall. Richards, 17, broke into the reserve side last season and impressed in the friendly against Barnet.

The left-sided full-back or midfielder comes in as cover for Chris Makin and Martijn Reuser who are both doubts.

Squad: Marshall, Pullen, Makin, Wilnis, Clapham, Hreidarsson, McGreal, Holland, Magilton, Ambrose, T Miller, Wright, Stewart, D Bent, Couñago, M Bent, Reuser, Armstrong, Gaardsøe and Richards.
