Ben Thatcher has a broken bone in his hand...but intends to carry on playing.

The best signing of the season had his hand broken on Saturday during the Brum game, and boss Micky Adams was worried he would lose Thatch over the Christmas period.

Adams told the club's official website: "Ben has been for a scan on the injury and seen a specialist who says that he can continue playing if he wears a light cast on his hand.

"That's what he will do and he should be available for this Saturday's game at Everton."

Other injuries are coming along well...Steve Howey is making good progress from his hamstring injury and Billy McKinlay is recovering from a groin strain and has been able to do some training meaning both could be fit for selection on Saturday.
