Defender Matt Richards has been ruled out of the weekend games against Rotherham and Wolves due to his infected wound on his foot. Richards picked up the injury in pre-season and aggravated it while on duty with the England U21s last week.

Manager Joe Royle told the club site: "Matt is definitely out for the weekend and we still have concerns over Fabian."

Wilnis also has an infected wound, but on his shin.
