Scott High on standby as Huddersfield Town assess Alex Vallejo, Jonathan Hogg and Levi Colwill for Luton Town trip

Scott High is on standby to play as Huddersfield Town's holding midfielder at Luton Town on Saturday if Alex Vallejo and Jonathan Hogg are unavailable.

Vallejo stepped in when Hogg missed Tuesday's 3-2 win over Blackburn Rovers with an abdominal injury. The Spaniard opened the scoring but had to make way for High in the second half.

He and Levi Colwill, who missed the match with an ankle problem, will be assessed ahead of the trip to Kenilworth Road.

"All the (other) players that were available on Tuesday are, it's only Alex who is a doubt.
