Town are likely to have Thomas Gaardsøe back in their defensive three when they face Coventry at Highfield Road on Saturday. The Dane missed out against Nottingham Forest at the weekend due to a groin strain.
Town will take a strong reserves side to Aldershot s Recreation Ground to face Chelsea this evening (KO 7pm). A number of players are on the way back after injury and are desperately in need of a game.
Martijn Reuser s recent return to reserves action has eased fears that he would require an operation to rid him of his groin problem. Reuser was in the second string side which beat Fulham 6-1 on Wednesday.
Scott Barron is expected to return to action this week after undergoing a second operation for a groin problem at the end of last season. The left-back or wide midfielder is likely to be involved in Thursday s reserve team friendly at Canvey Island (KO 7.30pm).
