Huddersfield Town Manager Darren Moore has made three changes to the starting line-up for today’s Emirates FA Cup Third Round game against Manchester City; 2pm kick-off at the Etihad Stadium.
Brodie Spencer also starts this afternoon following his recall from loan at Scottish Premiership Motherwell. His sixth start for the Terriers comes in place of Yuta Nakayama, who has now joined Japan on international duty for the Asia Cup.
Ben Jackson returns to the squad after his three game absence through illness. He takes the place of Jaheim Headley, who is out with the ankle injury sustained at Leicester City on New Year’s Day.
Our second January signing, Bojan Radulović, is among the substitutes this afternoon. Tom Edwards also returns to the squad after missing the last few games for personal reasons, whilst Giosue Bellagambi is our backup goalkeeper today as Jacob Chapman has an ankle complaint. B Team forward Conor Falls drop out of the squad.
Moore is without Chris Maxwell (hamstring), Jacob Chapman (ankle); Josh Ruffels (groin), Matty Pearson (calf), Jonathan Hogg (illness), Delano Burgzorg (ankle), Jaheim Headley (ankle), David Kasumu (knee), Ollie Turton (knee), Kian Harratt (hamstring), Danny Ward (Achilles), Pat Jones (hamstring), and Yuta Nakayama (international duty).
