Potts, Holmes, Best – Preston North End injury news and return dates with Coventry City next
Preston North End are relatively injury free as preparations for Friday’s trip to Coventry City step up – though the Lilywhites are without one stalwart.
Here is an overview of the North End treatment table, ahead of the crunch clash against Mark Robins’ side.
The injury: Suffered an injury in the bottom of his hamstring, towards the end of Preston’s 2-0 win at Cardiff City earlier this month. It was his 13th start on the spin, with ten of those games seeing the number 44 play 90 minutes.
The update: “He is going to be a few weeks, Pottsy… but we are going to take it week-by-week. I think the international break, four weeks off is that? He is definitely going to miss the next four games I think, Pottsy, which is a bit of a blow.”
The injury: Holmes was named on the bench for the home game against Ipswich Town in early February. But, he sustained a knee issue when taking a shot during the warm-up and was then withdrawn from the squad. The American has missed the last four matches.
The update: “Duano is on the grass and we will see how he is,” said Lowe, last week. He was champing at the bit yesterday, but we had to kick him inside. That is the character he is, saying ‘Can I put this bib on?!’ – but we just have to be careful. We have got a squad and it’s fine with where we’re at now. There is no real rush to push Duano in.”
