Town boss Joe Royle has named an 18-man squad for Saturday's trip to Burnley. Central defender Jason De Vos looks likely to miss out but will not be completely ruled out until the latest possible moment.

The Canadian has a three-inch blood clot on a thigh and the Town manager told the club site that he expects it to keep him out of the game at Turf Moor: "I will be very surprised if he makes it.

"He didn't train on Thursday and he is unlikely to do so today but has asked to travel in the hope that it will have cleared up on Saturday morning."

Ex-Claret Drissa Diallo will move to central defence if the former Wigan man is out, with Fabian Wilnis switching to right-back and Matt Richards coming in on the left.

Squad: Bent, Bowditch, Collins, Couñago, Davis, De Vos, Diallo, Horlock, Kuqi, Magilton, Miller, Mitchell, Murray, Naylor, Price, Richards, Westlake, Wilnis.
