Huddersfield Town boss Lee Grant's sickness admission plus his frustration after League One draw at Northampton Town

Ruben Roosken, Lynden Gooch and Radinio Balker all missed the trip to Sixfields, which saw Town’s winless league streak extend to four matches in a frustrating 1-1 draw.

The illnesses in the camp further stymied the selection hand of Grant, who was already missing a number of players due to injury.

His side are back in action at home to Wigan Athletic on Saturday lunch-time.

On whether the sickness issues could intensity, Grant, speaking to BBC Radio Leeds, said: "Quite possibly, yes.

"Radinio Balker has not been well and been isolating over the past couple of days. He’s been in the hotel with us, but he may as well be in quarantine for how much we have seen him over the past day or so.

“Ruben or Lynden did not travel (and were) really poorly. Two staff members over the last week, coaching staff, have not been with us for portions of the week..

"It’s in the camp. Of course, they have been on a coach together and in hotels for the past week or so, so there’s every chance we are going to suffer a bit more on that side of it. But we have to be hopeful we can have as many players available and fit and well for Saturday’s fixture."

Nesta Guinness-Walker's superb volley for the Cobblers – their sole meaningful chance on the night – gave the hosts the lead, but in-form loanee Leo Castledine equalised for Town.

The visitors dominated most of the game, but couldn’t grab that all-important second goal.

On whether it will constitute a good point on the road, Grant added: "Time will maybe tell on that.

"A point is obviously a point. We’re away from home at a ground that is difficult for lots of reasons. Conditions, pitch, opposition that work really hard and they are organised. Kev (Kevin Nolan) has got his side playing a really hard, aggressive brand of football.

"Of course, a point away from home is important. But if we are really honest, we know it’s a game we have to win and can win. We have the opportunities to do so.

"More frustrating that the fact we have missed opportunities is that we score another excellent goal and we don’t protect our goal well enough for their one foray into our box and one moment.

"Because that is the game, it is literally that. The game comes down to one moment on our box, which we have to be much better on.

"It was a game where the opposition create next to nothing and for them to score a goal really sticks in the back of our throats.”
