Westlake and Juan set to miss out

Westlake in fitness race

Ian Westlake sustained a dead leg at Deepdale and along with Jimmy Juan, who was withdrawn with a groin injury on Tuesday night, is a major doubt ahead of the trip to the capital.

Both players missed out on training today and Royle will wait until Friday to see if they will make it into his 16 man squad.

Another doubt for the crucial win-or-bust game is Alan Lee. The £100k signing from Cardiff picked up a bruised foot in a hard fought encounter at Preston and was also missing from training today. However, ITFM understands Lee will be in the 16 man squad and should recover in time.
