“From Tuesday, nothing new has come from that but still young Joe is the one we’re being careful with,” Challinor told The Mail.

“I hope that come next Wednesday, or whenever we get his scan results, that we find out we’ve been over-cautious with him because it’s a good over-cautious if you like. From that, he can get himself back involved.

"Apart from him and a few lads feeling a few little niggles, we’re in good shape. Given the run we’ve had, you expect that but those niggles feel like less of a problem when you’re winning games and picking up points.

"Everyone wants to play on Saturday and apart from [Odusina], Cass and Joe, we have the opportunity to pick whatever team we want and hopefully that will be a team that can go out and win a game for us.”
