New captain misses training with tight hamstring

Last updated : 19 February 2003 By Mad Tyke
Reds midfielder Mitch Ward missed training today with a slight hamstring strain but is expected to be fit for the derby with Huddersfield on Sunday.

Ward captained the Reds against Cheltenham last night despite the return of Chris Morgan. Give your views on this in the tykesmad poll.

Gary Jones also picked up a leg injury in the Cheltenham game but is suspended for the Huddersfield match anyway.

Meanwhile, defender Brian O'Callaghan is back in training after an ankle injury.
