Dixon In Contention For Starting Place

Paul Dixon is all set to make his return to the starting line-up for Huddersfield Town when the terriers clash against Bristol City at The John Smiths Stadium on Saturday. Dixon has unfortunately been edged out of his left back place in the team by a resilient Calum Woods but with Jack Hunt serving his first match ban this weekend, Woods is expected to switch to right back to allow Dixon to take up his usual role.

Dixon was however brought off in the U21 match against Leicester City due to receiving a slight knock which Grayson didn't want to become worse. He only lasted 14 minutes in that game but is looking to get a full ninety under his belt on Saturday. Grayson gave fans an update on the Scottish internationals situation earlier today;

"Paul took a bang to the knee during the Under 21 game, but taking him off was more of a precaution than anything else. Normally, he would have tried to run it off, but given Jack's suspension, we didn't want to take any needless risks. He's responded well to treatment and should be able to train as normal for the remainder of this week."

"Joel Lynch can play left-back, but we included him there at Millwall for a specific tactical reason, and Paul will certainly come into contention on Saturday. And Anthony Gerrard is back in training already, so he will also be available."

Huddersfield will be going in search for a first win in three games after losing their previous two away games to both Peterborough & Millwall.
