The West Brom duo penned initial month-long loan deals at Edgar Street earlier this week and could be thrown straight into the mix as John Trewick looks to end Vale's five-match unbeaten run in the league.

Defender Richard Rose is doubtful but will be assessed on Friday as he attempts to overcome the jarred knee that ruled him out of last weekend's 1-0 defeat at Bury.

Ryan Green definitely remains sidelined as he recovers from his hernia operation, with the defender currently focusing on flexibility and strengthening work as he targets a return in around three weeks' time.

Striker Lee Morris (knee) is also still out as the Bulls look to put some valuable breathing space between themselves and the bottom two.
