The Fitness Test
Ali McCann has been back in team training for the past week and is getting closer to fitness, but it remains to be seen whether he’ll be ready for a return before the international break.
With the three-game week, Paul Heckingbottom admitted that there might be opportunities for some in this fixture who he maybe hasn’t seen as much of yet.
Robbie Brady isn’t expected to feature due to the knock which kept him out against Luton Town, while Milutin Osmajić’s health will be checked on having been absent through illness on Saturday.
The Sulphurites
Since reaching the EFL for the first time in their history back in 2020, Harrogate Town have established themselves in the fourth tier, and went on to finish 13th last season.
Managed by Simon Weaver, Harrogate made it through to the second round of the Carabao Cup thanks to a victory over League One side Lincoln City on the road.
They picked up their first win of the league campaign at the weekend, beating Colchester United 1-0 away from home, with Sam Folarin capitalising on a mix-up at the back by the hosts.
