Aaron Mooy returned to training after being granted extended leave following his World Cup exploits in Russia with Australia while Adama Diakhaby, who joined the club yesterday from AS Monaco, also trained with the squad for the first time yesterday afternoon.

However, it is unlikely the pair will make an appearance this afternoon but David Wagner suggested fellow new-boy Ramadan Sobhi could be in contention.

Tell me about the oppositon...

The Terriers have never faced hosts Rot-Weiss Essen previously, but have played against both Werder Bremen and Real Betis in recent years.

Town took on the German side ahead of the 2016/17 promotion campaign in pre-season, playing out a goalless draw in Zell-am-Ziller.

Betis on the other hand have played at the John Smith's Stadium, with the Spanish side claiming a 4-2 victory over the Terriers ahead of the 2013/14 Championship season - James Vaughan and Martin Paterson netted for the hosts that day.

Last term Betis finished sixth in La Liga, Bremen finished eighth in the Bundelsiga and Rot-Weiss Essen ended up 10th in Regionalliga West.
