Ufuk Talay has confirmed his squad for Sunday’s trip up the M1 to take on Newcastle Jets.

Jordan Courtney-Perkins is also named in that squad and will play his last match on Sunday before jetting off to Qatar for the four week tournament with the final scheduled for the 3rd of May.
In Girdwood-Reich’s abscence, Jack Rodwell and Aaron Gurd are named in the extended squad with Aaron Gurd back available after a leg fracture has kept him sidelined for a number of weeks.
