Town are likely to have Thomas Gaardsøe back in their defensive three when they face Coventry at Highfield Road on Saturday. The Dane missed out against Nottingham Forest at the weekend due to a groin strain.

The former AaB Aalborg man will be back in full training on Thursday after working with Simon Thadani in recent days.

Gaardsøe feels that despite Wolves' victory over Grimsby last night Town still have a chance of making the play-offs: "With five games still to go and a lot of points still to be won and lost, things can still happen. We will just have to wait and see.

"It is clear we need to win at least four games to have any chance. We are capable of doing that, but we must also depend on other teams dropping points."
