Quotes made by Town boss Joe Royle at the weekend seemed to indicate that the Spaniard may be dropped from Royle's first 16 after a poor peformance where the former Celta Vigo star looked to be severly lacking in confidence.
However Counago has been included and there are just two changes to the squad of 17 named for Preston at the weekend with Dean Bowditch and Chris-Bart Williams missing out, whilst the formerly suspended Shefki Kuqi is recalled after serving his one match ban for 5 yellow cards.
Full Town Squad: Davis, Price, Wilnis, Richards, Santos, McGreal, Diallo, Naylor, Magilton, Miller, Wright, Westlake, Reuser, Kuqi, Bent, Couñago.
