Huddersfield Town has received a significant boost as they welcome back injured players to squad training. Marcus McGuane and Mickel Miller have resumed training following their respective groin and hamstring injuries. While both are making progress, they still require more time before being available for selection.
Another positive note for the club is that Will Alves is recovering from a broken foot. Manager Lee Grant is optimistic about Alves potentially being ready for selection soon. However, Josh Feeney remains sidelined due to a groin injury, with expectations for his return set for early to mid-January.
