Terriers sweating over Naysmith fitness

21 February 2011 12:30
Huddersfield defender Gary Naysmith faces a late fitness test ahead of his side's clash at Dagenham. But leading goalscorer Jordan Rhodes could return to contention following a five-game lay-off due to an ankle injury. Naysmith, sidelined for over five months with a foot problem, returned to the side at the start of February, but sustained a calf injury in the draw at Bournemouth on Saturday. Antony Kay replaced Naysmith at the weekend, but Town manager Lee Clark has the option of recalling Tom Clarke to the starting line-up. Scott Arfield is pushing for a recall after making way for fellow midfielder Joey Gudjonsson, but the Terriers have no other new injury or suspension problems. Long-term absentees Alex Smithies (knee), defender Liam Ridehalgh (glandular fever) and midfielder Damien Johnson (knee) remain sidelined.
