Posh set for double boost

Peterborough could have Christian Burgess and Jon Taylor back in contention for the visit of Fleetwood.

Defender Burgess and winger Taylor both missed the defeat at Yeovil with ankle knocks and they will continue to be monitored ahead of Saturday, as will left-back Kgosi Ntlhe who is nearing a return from a groin injury.

Some more positive news on the injury front for Posh boss Darren Ferguson sees Michael Bostwick set to resume training after a month-long calf problem, although the defender will not be ready in time for the weekend.

Midfielder Erhun Oztumer (groin) and winger Nathaniel Mendez-Laing (thigh) may feature in a development game next week but top scorer Kyle Vassell, who last week suffered a broken foot in a training accident, is looking at around two months on the sidelines.

None of Fleetwood's long-term absentees are yet ready to return as they bid to arrest a worrying run of results.

The Cod Army are without a win in seven fixtures after their bright start to the season, and manager Graham Alexander will once again be without Keith Southern, Jeff Hughes and Jamille Matt.

Midfielders Southern (hernia) and Hughes (broken leg) are edging closer to comebacks, the latter having played for the development squad recently.

Matt has been ruled out for the entire campaign, though, and fellow forward Jamie Proctor will be hoping for a recall after scoring off the bench last time out.
