Preston North End boss Paul Heckingbottom has confirmed number one goalkeeper Daniel Iversen has not yet been ruled out for a return on Saturday when the side host Watford.
The Danish stopper, 28, has missed five league games with a groin injury and while he has returned to training, he's not yet fully fit - but his boss is not ruling out a chance of a return.
"He could play but he can't kick it [the ball]," Heckingbottom told BBC Radio Lancashire.
As well as Iversen, Preston have several other players currently working their way back from injury including Robbie Brady (calf), Brad Potts (knee) and Andrew Hughes (hamstring).
Forward Daniel Jebbison will be poised for a return after missing out on the win against Portsmouth on Saturday, while new signing Callum Lang, who scored a hat-trick for the reserves in the week, could be set to make his first-team debut this weekend.
The side will also be boosted by the return of Milutin Osmajic following the conclusion of his suspension.
"I hope we can keep this between now and the end of the season," Heckingbottom added.
"Robbie Brady played minutes again the other day, keeping him fit is important. Hughesy coming back, I think he's five weeks this weekend, not far off [from a comeback], that's important.
"The boys coming back should add to what we've got."
