Skipper Called Into Squad

Last updated : 03 December 2003 By Site Editor
The former Nothern Ireland and Sheffield Wednesday man picked up a injury in Saturday's 3-2 win at Cardiff, and appeared to be ruled out of the squad when it was announced earlier today.

However Jim has made a very quick recovery, and Town boss Joe Royle says he's now very much in contention to play a part at The City Ground: "Jim had 10 per cent chance of being fit for the Forest game when we looked at him yesterday." he told the Official Club Website.

"But he has shown a Lazarus like recovery overnight and did some running this morning. We have added him to the squad for the game and he is now rated at 60/40 in his favour of playing."

Revised Squad: Armstrong, Bart-Williams, Bent, Davis, Kuqi, Magilton, Mahon, McGreal, Miller, Naylor, Price, Reuser, Richards, Santos, Westlake, Wilnis, Wright.
