Clarke a concern for Terriers

31 January 2011 13:00
Huddersfield's versatile midfielder Tom Clarke could face a late fitness test ahead of the clash with Carlisle. Clarke was forced out of Sunday's FA Cup clash at Arsenal after taking a knock and is doubtful, but Town have been boosted by the return of defender Gary Naysmith to the first-team squad. Naysmith, who has made only four appearances for Town due to a toe injury since arriving from Sheffield United in the summer, was included in the squad at the Emirates Stadium and could feature at Brunton Park. The Terriers will still be without goalkeeper Alex Smithies (knee), midfielder Damien Johnson (knee), striker Jordan Rhodes (ankle) and defenders Tamas Kadar (hamstring), Liam Ridehalgh (illness) and Leigh Franks (hamstring). But teenage striker Benik Afobe, on loan from Arsenal, is back in contention after not being allowed to play against his parent club on Sunday.
