Seani Maguire is back in the Preston North End squad for today's Sky Bet Championship clash with Bolton Wanderers.
The Irishman has not featured for Alex Neil's side since November when a hamstring injury ruled him out for almost five months.

Maguire's rehab has been a prolonged process but recent strides look to have paid dividend as the Striker comes back into the squad. It is good news from an Irish perspective as both Alan Browne and Greg Cunningham start, with Cunningham captaining the side.
However, Maguire's return means there is no space for Daryl Horgan on the bench and he drops out of the squad.

Preston desperately need a win if they are to harbour any hopes of a play-off place. They are currently in ninth position and four points off the play-off spots.
