Justin Edinburgh likely to resist temptation to change much against Peterborough

Gillingham boss Justin Edinburgh is expected to choose from an unchanged squad for the home game against Peterborough.

Edinburgh has no new injury or suspension worries but could be tempted to make one or two changes, with skipper Doug Loft pushing for a recall in midfield.

Striker Luke Norris is hoping to feature after returning from an ankle injury in last week's 2-2 draw at Doncaster as an unused substitute.

Cody McDonald remains the Gills' only long-term absentee. The forward has been sidelined since mid-December after breaking a bone in his foot.

On-loan Norwich defender Harry Toffolo and new midfield signing Adil Nabi could make their Peterborough debuts at Priestfield.

Toffolo, 20, who has made one appearance for the Canaries and featured for Championship side Rotherham earlier this season, joined the League One outfit on Thursday, as did attacking midfielder Nabi, who penned a three-and-a-half-year deal from West Brom for an undisclosed fee.

Manager Graham Westley will again be without defender Michael Bostwick after he suffered a setback in training.

Posh will also have to deal with life after Conor Washington, scorer of 15 goals this season, after he was sold to QPR earlier this week.
