Posh boss wants cover

Peterborough United boss Darren Ferguson has admitted an injury to Kieran Charnock has left him considering the possibility of drafting in some defensive cover.

Charnock picked up a hamstring injury during Tuesday's 3-1 Johnstone's Paint Trophy defeat at MK Dons.

"I'm really disappointed because I don't think we should have lost," said Ferguson.

"And then we've got the double blow of losing Charnock, who felt his hamstring go. It's a bad one.

"I didn't want to play him but with Craig Morgan going to Wales I had to.

"Now we've only got one fit centre-back, so I need to bring someone in, or maybe look at the possibility of bringing Guy Branston back from his loan (at Rochdale)."
