Northampton Town boss John Gorman is confident goalkeeper Mark Bunn will be fit to play at Bournemouth on Friday.

The 21-year-old has been one of the few success stories of the Cobblers' season since ousting Lee Harper from the team in August, but has been struggling with a side strain for the past week.

He aggravated the injury during last Saturday's 2-0 loss to Port Vale, but Gorman does not think the problem is serious.

"The goalkeeper has a side strain," Gorman told the Chronicle & Echo.

"He picked it up in the last game against Cheltenham, but hopefully he will be okay with a couple of days' rest. It is nothing serious."
