Speaking to the official website Dario confirmed Jack made a surprise return to training yesterday:

"A fit Rodney Jack would be a very welcome and unexpected addition to our squad. We are not completely sure yet if he is fully fit but if there is no reaction in training today, then I would consider starting him.

"Of course, it was last Friday that he cried off with his groin injury, but credit to him because he has been working hard this week and came in yesterday when everyone was off. It would be great to have all our four strikers to choose from if Rodney makes it. "

Meanwhile Ashton will miss tomorrows vital game with a throat infection. And loanee Stefan Oakes will make his third Alex start as the Alex look to secure promotion.
