HUDDERSFIELD Town striker Lee Novak and midfielder Scott  Arfield were back in training today and hoping to prove their fitness for Saturday's trip to Tranmere Rovers. 

Both players have been under treatment for ankle injuries suffered in training  - Arfield before the Wycombe match and Novak before the 3-2 home win over Brentford - and both have responded. 

"Lee Novak is good and Scott Arfield will also be back in training, so hopefully there will be no adverse reactions," said manager Lee Clark. 

"Alex Smithies has come through a behind-closed-doors training game and done excellently, so we will have a development game for him against Blackburn Rovers next Tuesday. 

"Gary Roberts (hernia op) is the main injury concern, although he will start his rehab tomorrow, and we've got one or two niggles which, hopefully, will be all right before Prenton Park on Saturday."
