Bennett blow for Posh

17 September 2010 10:00
Peterborough will be without record signing Ryan Bennett for the long trip to Exeter. The former Grimsby centre-half came off at half-time last weekend with a knee injury and while scans have revealed the injury is not serious, he is facing several weeks on the sidelines. That should mean a first start of the season for Gabriel Zakuani, who replaced Bennett during the 5-2 win over Oldham after recovering from his summer groin operation. Winger Arron Davies is set to be out for up three weeks after picking up a hamstring injury against Tranmere. Chris Whelpdale is fit again after a thigh injury but winger Nathaniel Mendez-Laing will have a late fitness test on his knee injury. Full-back Mark Little is beginning a six-week lay-off after injuring his knee and midfielder Lee Frecklington (knee) remains sidelined. Former Chelsea full-back Nathan Ofori-Twumasi is back in the squad after injury and could be on the bench.
