Midfielder Kevin Horlock will return to the Town squad for Saturday's first home pre-season game against Crystal Palace. The former Manchester City, Swindon and West Ham man missed out at Oxford on Monday due to bruised ribs.

Out of Royle's plans for Palace's visit is Georges Santos who damaged his nose at Barnet last night.

Full-back Fabian Wilnis is still not ready to join in full training due to his back problem.

Likely squad: Davis, Price, Richards, Wilnis, Barron, De Vos, Diallo, Naylor, Magilton, Horlock, Miller, Westlake, Murray, Bent, Couñago, Bowditch, Kuqi.
