Old Trafford starlet back to face Forest

Last updated : 10 March 2010 By Forest

The England Under-21 international netted 2 goals in 8 games for Preston North End after his loan switch from Manchester United but had to return to the Premier League champions for treatment after sustaining a knee injury.

"Danny will be fit for Saturday, that is a massive boost for us," Deepdale boss Darren Ferguson told the Lancashire Evening Post on Wednesday.

"He trained at United yesterday and will do so again today, and he comes back here tomorrow."

Ferguson was left frustrated as his side were held to a home draw by Doncaster Rovers on Tuesday night, leaving Preston firmly in mid-table despite a good record on their own patch this season.

They will be looking to avenge a 3-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest at the City Ground in the week before Christmas.
