There’s now a wait on for Moore and his technical team as they wait to see whether he’ll be available for Tuesday night’s trip to Wigan Athletic, a game that will test Wednesday’s mettle as they go up against the top team in League One at present – who have only lost one of their eight games so far this season.

When asked if Bannan was doing ok, Moore replied, “I hope so, we’ll have a look at him… He took a knock there, so he’s inside with some ice on and recovering. The next 24 hours will tell me a lot in terms of that, but hopefully it was just a knock that’s not too serious.

"I think it was the back of his knee. He went to block a ball, and as he's blocked it there’s been some contact, but I’m hoping it’s something that’ll settle down in the next 24/48 hours and that he’ll be available for Tuesday.”

Wednesday face Wigan at 7.45pm on Tuesday evening as they look to bring to an end a four-game winless run in League One – though it’ll be another tough task.
