Town will field all four trialists in tonight's second game of the pre-season tour against Belgian side Zulte-Waregem. The Blues will be without midfielder Matt Richards, due to the ankle injury he sustained in the Willem II match, and striker Sam Parkin who has a bruised foot.

Algerian international trialist Mehdi Méniri will line-up next to Jason De Vos at the heart of the defence with Icelandic hopeful Indridi Sigurdsson at left-back, Sito on the right and Lewis Price wearing the gloves.

Former Le Havre man Alexis Bertin, who has impressed in his three previous games, will be joined by Finnish trialist Marko Kolsi in central midfield, while Darren Currie starts on the right and Ian Westlake on the left. Danny Haynes and Dean Bowditch are up front.

Zulte-Waregem's website reports that the kick-off is at 7pm local time.

Boss Jim Magilton told the club site that Richards's ankle problem is not serious: "Matt is improving steadily, but he is going to take it easy again today and won't be involved against Zulte-Waregem.

"Hopefully, he'll be back in contention to play against FC Dordrecht on Friday evening."
