Hunt was knocked out while scoring the opener against Burnley last time out and was withdrawn from the Republic of Ireland B squad as a precaution.

"I should be fine. I've been taking it easy in training and I will get stuck into it later in the week," Hunt said.

"I'm not allowed to head the ball at the minute but I'll be ok for Preston.

"I still remember nothing about that Saturday at all.

"I don't think I will ever get that back so I just have to get on with it."

Hunt left Dundee United to join brother Stephen Hunt at the Royals in the summer and has since scored six goals in 11 appearances for the club.
