TEAM NEWS

Asked for an update on the team news front, Nathan Jones said: "We’ve used the two weeks to get a bit of minutes into a few people, to rest up one or two and then there’s been one or two away. We’ve got a huge game on the weekend which we’re looking forward to."

Macaulay Langstaff and Zak Lovelace have returned to training for the visitors, though Casper De Norre, Billy Mitchell, Alfie Doughty and Femi Azeez have all picked up injuries in the opening weeks of the new campaign.
