MARK Fish is under orders to waste no time in getting back to prepare for Wanderers' Roses battle at Huddersfield on Tuesday night. The Bolton centre-back was today playing for South Africa 6,000 miles away in their African Nations Cup qualifier against The Gabon in Johannesburg, missing the Division One game against Crewe at the Reebok.

But Colin Todd is determined to have him back at the McAlpine Stadium for a game that will be a severe test of his side's promotion ambitions.

"Mark's due back tomorrow night," the Wanderers' boss explained. "I've told the South African officials that I want him straight back after the game so that he is back to work with us on Monday."

Per Frandsen will also be available to return in midfield after missing today's game through suspension.

The monthly meeting of the Wanderers' Junior Whites will take place in the Lion of Vienna Suite at the Reebok Stadium on Monday (doors open 5.45pm).
