Steve Kember's patched-up side face a tough trip to in-form Sunderland at the Stadium of Light on Saturday.

Tommy Black and defender Tony Popovic are suspended but Michael Hughes returns from his ban.

If strikers Neil Shipperley (knee) and DOUGIE FREEDMAN (hamstring) aren't fit enough, then Andy Johnson will be the only senior frontman in the squad. Gareth Williams got injured while playing for Wales Under-21s in the week.

Shaun Derry (knee), Hayden Mullins (leg) and Gary Borrowdale (head) are in the squad and join Darren Powell and Curtis Fleming.

Sunderland skipper Jason McAteer will play after recovering from a hamstring injury. Full-back Darren Williams should return to the side but winger Matt Piper (knee) could miss out.
