Preston without Woods for Stoke visit
Posted Friday, August 17, 2018 by PA
Preston defender Calum Woods has been ruled out of Saturday’s Sky Bet Championship home clash with Stoke due to a hamstring injury.
Woods suffered the injury in the 3-1 Carabao Cup win against Morecambe on Tuesday and could be out for a couple of weeks.
Striker Sean Maguire (also hamstring) and winger Billy Bodin (knee) remain sidelined.
Boss Alex Neil made 11 changes to his starting line-up for the Morecambe game and Paul Gallagher and Louis Moult, both of whom have played for Stoke, are among those hoping to retain their places from the tie.
Ashley Williams appears set to make his first start since joining Stoke on loan from Everton earlier this month.
Williams came on in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Brentford as a replacement for Bruno Martins Indi.
And the Dutchman, having been forced off by an Achilles injury, is unlikely to have recovered in time for the game at Deepdale.
Deadline day arrival Sam Clucas, who underwent a knee operation in May, is not yet ready to be involved.
