Aaron Wildig set for return to Shrewsbury Town action

Wildig has been out of action for more than a month after suffering a knee injury in the first half of Town's 1-0 win over Notts County on November 23.

The 21-year-old suffered bone bruising as a result of a challenge by County midfielder Andre Boucard.

But he has responded well since then and Turner said: "He has a possibility of being available for Sunday."

Wildig had been a mainstay in the starting XI prior to his injury, making 20 appearances so far this season and scoring two goals. And striker Tom Bradshaw said the player's return would hand Town a fillip.

"Aaron did very well before he got injured," he said. "Luke Summerfield and Nicky Wroe have done well since he has been out, but he is a big player to have back in the team. Whether it is the starting line-up or on the bench, it is a big boost for all of us including the coaching staff and the gaffer."

But Town look set to be without fellow midfielder Wroe who is on loan from tomorrow's opponents, Preston.

Turner believes the terms of the loan agreement, which ends in early January, do not allow him to play against his parent club.

"The rules have changed now," he said. "You have to have written permission whereas before, if you didn't put it in the contract that they couldn't play, then they were allowed to play.

"Now it is the other way. You have to have written permission and we haven't got that, so it looks unlikely that he will be able to play."

Meanwhile, Ryan Woods is a doubt because of the hamstring injury which forced him off at half-time in Town's 1-0 Boxing Day defeat at home to Tranmere.
