Loan defender Jay McEveley is a doubt ahead of Tuesday's home game with Southampton. The Blackburn player picked up a foot injury in Saturday's defeat at Sheffield United.

The England U19 international, who made his Town debut at Bramall Lane, will be assessed closer to Tuesday's game before a decision is made on whether to play him. If McEveley misses out, Matt Richards will come back into the side.

Boss Joe Royle has confirmed that Sito's place will be taken by Fabian Wilnis. The Spaniard is suspended for one match for his red card against the Blades.
