Preston chairman Derek Shaw is confident North End will be able to add to their squad when the emergency loan-market reopens next week.
The club missed out on a deal for a centre-half but Shaw maintains he is not disheartened.
"Players don't want to come just to sit on the bench," the chairman told BBC Radio Lancashire.
"An injury would give us a better chance of getting a loan player in as he would go straight into the team."
"We were hoping that one of our higher-paid players was going to go out, which would have helped fund the move for the centre-back.
"We know we haven't got the ideal situation with just two fit centre-backs at the moment.
"But if we do have to do an emergency loan before Liam Chilvers is fit, then we will do that," the chairman added.
