The 25-year-old found the net for the reserves in a 5-1 win at Middlesbrough last week, and he is expected to play 70 minutes tonight.

Glenn Roeder: "When Shola went off to Colorado six or seven months ago to have his hip operation, we were told we would be lucky if he was fit to take part in pre-season training in early July.

"The thought of Shola playing again this year is amazing and he must be very pleased with himself because he certainly did not think he would be playing again this year, and now he knows he probably will."
