Paul Anderson could make Northampton bow against MK Dons

Northampton could hand a debut to new signing Paul Anderson when they take on MK Dons on Sunday.

The Cobblers brought in midfielder Anderson following his release from Bradford on deadline day, and he could feature.

Alfie Potter and Sam Hoskins missed the midweek Checkatrade Trophy defeat to Wycombe through injury after picking up knocks and remain doubtful.

Defender Gabriel Zakuani will miss the game as he is currently on international duty with DR Congo.

MK Dons were dealt an injury blow ahead of the short trip to Sixfields with the news that defender Scott Wootton will be out for around nine months with a knee problem.

The centre-back suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament during Tuesday night's clash with Barnet.

Manager Karl Robinson was forced to dip into the transfer market to cover Wootton's loss by bringing in Jack Hendry on loan from Wigan and he will go straight into the squad along with Latics team-mate Ryan Colclough, who also joined the club this week.

David Martin is expected to return in goal in place of Lee Nicholls while club-record signing Kieran Agard has missed the last four matches through injury and it remains to be seen when he will be fit to return.
