“But I’m pleased to say the medical team have worked on him over the last 48 or 72 hours and that he’s part of the squad again tomorrow. We’re pleased to have him available.”
And there was further good news in that Lee Gregory, Jack Hunt and Reece James are all ready to go after lay-offs. Dominic Iorfa is also up for selection after he narrowly missed out on selection with against Morecambe with a bruised calf.
“I think they’re in a position to start,” Moore said on the returning quartet. “You don’t know the dynamics of how the game could go in terms of who is on the bench and potentially they can be thrown on.”
