  • Preston North End goalkeeper Freddie Woodman is set to miss the remainder of the season with an ankle injury sustained in the gym over the international break. The stopper missed only his second game of the season in the FA Cup loss to Aston Villa on Sunday, with reserve keeper David Cornell stepping in.

Preston North End's goalkeeper, Freddie Woodman, is likely to miss the remainder of the season due to a hand injury sustained during a match against Hull City. The injury occurred when Woodman attempted to save a shot, resulting in a significant impact on his hand. Although the exact nature of the injury hasn't been detailed, it's severe enough that he might need surgery, which would sideline him for the rest of the campaign. This development is a blow for Preston, who are currently in the playoff race in the Championship. In Woodman's absence, Dai Cornell is expected to step in as the first-choice goalkeeper.
