Preston North End manager Ryan Lowe has confirmed that Manchester United loanee Alvaro Fernandez is fine despite being taken off at half-time during Tuesday evening's Carabao Cup win over Huddersfield Town.
Earning his first start for the the Lilywhites since joining them on loan from United last month, the highly-rated defender provided two first-half assists to set the Championship side on their way to an emphatic 4-1 victory. He produced his two assists in the space of just ten minutes, with midfielder Ali McCann the benefactor on both occasions.
The Spaniard was a constant threat from left wing-back, leaving Preston fans purring over his potential. He had stepped off the bench in each of their opening two Championship fixtures, meaning this was their first opportunity to get a look at him from the start.
