The Terriers lost to Burnley last Friday as they kicked off their era under Danny Schofield following Carlos Corberan's departure last month.

"He (Kasumu) won't be available for Friday but it's not as bad as we first thought, so that's a positive," said Schofield. "It's a slight injury low down in his hamstring so he's going to miss a few weeks but it's not as bad as we first thought.

"Pretty much apart from those two players (Kasumu and Pearson) the squad's fit and ready."
