Paul McShane is available to play against Manchester City on Saturday.

The right back had to be replaced during added time in Tuesday's draw with Chelsea after sustaining a cut just above his right eye.

But having received several stitches to close up the wound, McShane will be included in Phil Brown's squad for the visit of the Blues.

Brown will also add Seyi Olofinjana to his squad. The midfielder recently returned from African Cup of Nations duty with Nigeria and is ready to focus on club football once again.

Because of illness, Olofinjana was restricted to just one appearance in the tournament - the third place play-off match - but says he is now fully recovered and fit for Premier League action.
