DAVID Moyes is hoping for an exodus from the treatment table to the dressing room in time for Preston's Second Division play-off semi-final first leg against Gillingham at Deepdale tomorrow.

North End have a quartet of star turns struggling with injuries, but the big question is - will Kurt Nogan return?

Top scorer Nogan is doubtful with the groin complaint which has ruled him out since the home date with Blackpool last month, while there are also doubts over wingers Lee Cartwright (knee) and David Eyres (hamstring) and left-sided wing-back Dominic Ludden (hamstring).

Cartwright managed a run-out in the reserves on Wednesday and Eyres and Ludden are thought to be making progress.

But with Steve Basham's loan spell complete - the Southampton striker can't figure in the play-offs - Moyes' top priority is getting Nogan back on track.

Squad: Lucas, Alexander, Murdock, Jackson, Kidd, Ludden, Clement, Gregan, Rankine, McKenna, McGregor, Macken, Harris, Eyres, Cartwright, Appleton, Darby, Moilanen.
