It's not a foregone conclusion that he'll be playing against PT.

It is welcome news for manager Terry Butcher, who now hopes Bulvitis can take his place in the starting line-up against Partick Thistle tomorrow.
"We are optimistic that he is coming back," he said. "I've been in contact with him and as I understand it he will be returning to Caley Thistle.
"He's always wanted to come back here and he's told his club that, so hopefully he will be back with us before the weekend. However, even if he isn't, because of the way the contract situation is there's no immediate concern ahead of the deadline. We've still to sort out a few details with Ventspils, but the player is set to come back to Inverness, so that's a real positive for us.
"I would like him to be involved against Partick, but if it's not possible then we do have options within the current squad who could play in central defence.
"The thing is Nauris has done a lot of travelling.
"He flew back to Latvia last weekend and then headed off to Turkey to join the Russian team for what is their pre-season, so he's trained pretty hard.
"I would think he'll be pretty tired, but he is young and athletic, so I would be hoping that he is fine for Saturday."
