Cambridge United have signed Preston North End goalkeeper Jack Walton on an emergency loan deal.
First choice Jake Eastwood is suspended for Wednesday's game at League Two leaders Bromley after being sent off in their 4-0 win over Notts County for handling the ball outside the penalty area.
Ben Hughes was sent on for his league debut as a replacement, having previously played in four Vertu Trophy games.
Walton, 27, has made five appearances for Preston this season after joining last summer, but none since January.
He began his career at Barnsley and played more than 70 games for Dundee United during a two-season loan spell in Scotland.
Cambridge are currently third in the table with four games left as they seek an immediate return to League One following last season's relegation.
