Clark to check on Peltier

24 April 2011 12:30
Huddersfield defender Lee Peltier is a major doubt for the clash with relegation-threatened Dagenham at the Galpharm. Peltier netted his first league goal for the club in the impressive 3-1 win at MK Dons, in his 79th league outing for Town, but was forced off at half-time with a knee problem and it remains to be seen if he recovers in time. Otherwise Terriers boss Lee Clark has no other new injury or suspension problems. First-choice goalkeeper Alex Smithies is again expected to miss out with the knee problem that has kept him out since mid-March. Winger Anthony Pilkington and defender Liam Ridehalgh remain absent. Pilkington's season was brought to a premature end when he suffered a horrific leg and ankle break last month against Rochdale while Ridehalgh, who has recently signed a new contract extension at the club, is recovering from a broken bone in his foot. On-loan Plymouth midfielder Damien Johnson remains a long-term absentee with a knee ligament injury while winger Aidan Chippendale, recently recalled from his loan spell at York, is still ineligible.
