The Fitness Test

Ben Whiteman has made a further step in his recovery from injury, having taken part in some of Monday's training and is expected to be involved in a full session later this week.

Defender Jordan Storey is about a week behind the skipper, whereas Jack Whatmough isn't being rushed due to the nature of his injury.

Duane Holmes is the only other long-term absentee, however there is hope he could be seen on the pitch again before the end of the season. Mads Frøkjær will also miss Tuesday’s fixture.

The Swans



Swansea City arrive at Deepdale looking to leapfrog the Lilywhites, as they currently sit just two points and a position behind North End.

Alan Sheehan has been placed in temporary charge of the Swans who parted ways with Luke Williams in February following a run of seven defeats in nine matches.

Their last fixture, now a week and a half ago, saw them get back on track with an impressive 3-0 victory over PNE’s Lancashire rivals Blackburn Rovers.
