Cobblers wait on Osman
Northampton boss Ian Sampson is hoping to name Abdul Osman in his squad to face Morecambe.
The 23-year-old midfielder was sent-off after 68 minutes of Saturday's 1-1 draw with Port Vale and is due to start a three-match ban, although an appeal has been launched against the decision.
Sampson said: "Hopefully Abdul Osman's sending off will get overturned but if it doesn't I have got plenty of options.
"Nathaniel Wedderburn took a bit of a knock on his ankle on Saturday and I'd say he is about 70/30.
"Michael Jacobs and Kevin Thornton can also both play in central midfield and we need to win the game so I'd have no problems playing two attack minded players in there."
Top-goalscorer Leon McKenzie and midfielder Andy Holt are set to retain their places in the starting line-up after reporting no reaction to their knee problems, but defender John Johnson (also knee) will miss out again despite returning to training this week.
