and live on Freeview channel 276
The likes of Moses Odubajo, Chey Dunkley, Liam Shaw and Joost van Aken are all expected to miss out on Preston’s trip to Hillsborough tomorrow afternoon, with ‘Thommo’ saying that they’re all at various stages of recovery for the Owls at present.
Speaking to the media today he said, “Moses Odubajo had a hamstring issue a week or so ago. We are monitoring him at the minute. He will certainly be out for a couple of weeks at least, which is disappointing for him. But that is part of football and you have got to deal with them.

“Liam had a shoulder injury at Exeter, he’s not been on the grass this week, so we’ll see where we go with that one.
“We’re still working through the issues of two or three weeks ago as well. It’s something that we’re mindful of.
“Joost van Aken has trained a little bit this week, hopefully he’ll get a bit of football down at Birmingham today with the U23s. If he can come through that, that’ll be good.”
