Huddersfield face Bristol City in the Sky Bet Championship on Tuesday, live on Sky Sports Football Red Button and the Sky Sports app.

Team news

Huddersfield striker Fraizer Campbell is a doubt for Tuesday night's game against Bristol City due to tonsillitis. The 32-year-old missed the 3-1 defeat to Swansea at the weekend and the Terriers will make a late decision about whether he will be fit to face the Robins.

Midfielder Alex Pritchard and forward Collin Quaner have resumed training after long absences and are available again, with Pritchard an unused substitute on Saturday. Tommy Elphick remains a long-term absentee with a knee injury as Huddersfield battle for Championship survival.

Han-Noah Massengo could be back in the City squad at the John Smith's Stadium. The 18-year-old was missing as the Robins slipped to a 3-0 home defeat against league leaders West Brom but boss Lee Johnson said after the match that his absence was merely a tactical decision.

Fellow midfielder Korey Smith has been out with a knee problem in recent weeks but he is nearing a return. Tuesday night might be too soon for him but Saturday's trip to Millwall may see him make his return. Marley Watkins (calf) is still unavailable while Benik Afobe continues his rehabilitation from an ACL injury.
