Huddersfield Town digest: Injuries and predicted line-up to face Michael Duff's Wycombe
The Terriers face the trip down south to take on a familiar foe on Saturday afternoon
What’s been said
You can read our rough transcript or listen along to Lee Grant’s press conference — as well as Mickel Miller — right here on We Are Terriers.
Coming up next
Last season’s play-off semi-finalists Wycombe Wanderers got off to an awful start to the season under head coach Mike Dodds, winning just one of their first eight league games.
That prompted Wycombe to make a change and and bring in former Huddersfield Town boss Michael Duff as his replacement.
Duff has overseen a better run of form since taking over last month, with four wins, two draws and one defeat in all competitions since taking over.
Wycombe’s defensive record — 16 conceded in 13 games — is reasonably OK, but they have struggled to make the most of the chances they have created and have scored just 15 goals this season.
After conceding twice in injury time against Bolton, Town will need to be wary of the late threat Wycombe can pose: they rescued a point against Blackpool with a 101st minute goal on Saturday, and earlier this month salvaged a 2-2 draw against Barnsley having been two goals down in the 88th minute.

Huddersfield Town injuries and absences
Mickel Miller returned from a lengthy lay-off with a hamstring injury against Bolton last Thursday night and got 15 minutes from the bench.
Bojan Radulovic missed out against Bolton with a knock but is hoped to be in contention to return this weekend.
Antony Evans is training but is still being monitored and carefully managed ahead of his return to action from a knee injury.
Jack Whatmough will need a bit longer than initially had been hoped to return from his calf injury, and remains sidelined.
Marcus McGuane is past ‘'the most complicated part’ of his recovery from a groin injury and is building back up his fitness on the training pitch, but is unlikely to be available this weekend.
Murray Wallace is currently out with an ankle injury he picked up against Harrogate.
Will Alves (foot), Herbie Kane (groin) and Zepiqueno Redmond (knee) are all long-term absentees.
Predicted line-up to face Wycombe Wanderers
4-2-3-1: Lee Nicholls; Lynden Gooch, Josh Feeney, Joe Low, Ruben Roosken; Ryan Ledson, David Kasumu; Marcus Harness, Ben Wiles, Leo Castledine; Alfie May.
Substitutes: Owen Goodman, Sean Roughan, Lasse Sorensen, Dan Vost, Mickel Miller, Bojan Radulovic, Joe Taylor.
Huddersfield Town Women
Town Women will return to FA Cup action at home to divisional rivals Wythenshawe in Sunday’s 2pm kick-off.
Town are yet to go head-to-head with Wythenshawe in the league this season, but currently sit a point behind them in third place.
