Grant was set to assess his injury list after training today before deciding whether to look for further new recruits before the August transfer window closes tomorrow.
He said: “You make a lot of phone calls but a lot of people are in a similar boat.
“I am loath to buy for the sake of buying.
“We will make a few more calls today.”
