"We are pretty much the same, we have four players who will still be out for this weekend," confirmed Adams.

"Angol is getting closer as we go, so is Eisa, which is really good.

"Lavery isn't too long, if it is not next Saturday it will be shortly after that. Ridehalgh is the same, he will be back on either Tuesday or Saturday."
