Ismaila Sarr is back to fitness and is in the squad for tomorrow night’s trip to Blackburn Rovers while Jeremy Ngakia also comes into contention for the first time since being an unused sub at Birmingham on August 16.
Sarr missed the 1-1 draw at Rotherham but would have been available for selection had the game with Reading on Saturday taken place.
“Isma has been back to fitness for a few days, and he’ll be in the squad tomorrow night,” said head coach Rob Edwards.
“The problem he had was very minor and was only ever going to need a week, or 10 days at the most. It’s good to have him back.”

No deals missed, no last-ditch failures, there's faith in Ngakia
Ngakia has been sidelined with a back injury but he will travel north-west with the squad and, should he start, it’ll be the first time since the home defeat to Leicester on May 15.
Imran Louza and Tom Cleverley are still a couple of weeks away from being fit enough for consideration while Tom Dele-Bashiru has been training out on the grass but will not be in contention for at least the medium term.
“We’re getting towards a quarter of the way through the season and that’s happened very fast,” said Edwards.
“Every game is important and we need to build on good performance elements we’ve shown within games, without really giving good performances overall.
“I’m searching now for that, for complete 90 minutes of good performance and I’m pushing the players to deliver that. Good performances generally get rewarded with points.
“We are getting there in terms of consistency, and the transfer window closing has helped with that. We’ve got a settled group, everyone knows where they’re at and we can work together on finding more rhythm.”
