According to a statement released by the club, Magilton has improved a good deal overnight from the calf and shin injuries he picked up in the game against Burnley which forced him to withdraw at half time during Saturday's 1-0 win against Stoke City.
Speaking to the Official Club Website, Town Physio Dave Williams confirmed: "Jim is improving and there is not so much fluid around the shin area. He will have a fitness test before the match but we are hopeful he will be in a better condition than he was against Stoke."
