After Saturday's win against Watford Town manager Joe Royle revealed that Jim Magilton had played with a groin injury. Magilton was involved in the Town midfield three with Jermaine Wright and Tommy Miller.

Miller is also suffering at present and will be rested in training this week due to his tendinitis problem.

Magilton will hope to recover before next week's game at Portsmouth. Also on the way back are Chris Makin (hamstring) and Mark Venus (knee), both of whom should return.

Definitely out is John McGreal who won't be back until January while Alun Armstrong has been put on a fitness programme to improve his stamina levels.
