His return is a welcome boost with doubts over Matt Carbon's condition and the fact Bobby Hassell is still a week or so short of returning.
Andy Ritchie spoke to the Official Site:
"It looks as though Paul Reid will be fit. He has trained fully this morning because I need to know before we travel if there is going to be any reaction to his injury. If it goes to form then the reaction would have come towards the end of training but we are keeping our fingers crossed.
"We will monitor Paul throughout the next few hours but if he has any soreness or tightness then we will leave him out. If he misses out then we may have to give him four full days rest just to make sure he is alright".
