Ward should make Mainz clash

Ward suffered the problem after a heavy challenge from Foxes defender Liam Moore and hobbled off midway through the first half of the 2-1 defeat at New York Stadium.

However, the 23-yard-old should return to the training ground today ahead of the German Bundesliga outfit's visit to South Yorkshire at the weekend.

Assistant Paul Raynor said: "It looks like it is just a knock, we will know more in the morning, but it looks like it was a knock to the ankle.

"Sometimes you can shake them off, but sometimes you can't, so fingers crossed that that's all it is.

"Danny has been a little bit unfortunate in pre-season. He has had some niggles and knocks and sometimes that is the luck you have.

"Hopefully it's nothing too serious and he will be able to train towards the game for Saturday."

Meanwhile, Raynor confirmed that loanee Farrend Rawson is currently at Derby receiving treatment on an injury.

The 19-year-old has yet to feature during pre-season following his loan move from the Rams, but is expected back with the Millers soon.

"Rawson has had a little niggle, Derby have asked that he has done his rehabilitation with them and we are quite happy to do that, he is their player," Raynor added. "But he is not far away, we are told he is days away rather than anything else.

"So it's nothing too serious, we just want to get that cleared up before he comes to us ready for his loan spell.

"It's days more than anything else. He is going to be a little bit short on match fitness but he is certainly not far away at all."
