Kevin van Veen doubtful as Northampton host Oxford
Posted Friday, February 23, 2018 by PA
Northampton are likely to be without Kevin van Veen for the visit of Oxford.
The Dutch forward is still struggling with the knee injury he sustained against AFC Wimbledon a fortnight ago.
Winger Hildeberto Pereira will come back into contention after completing a one-match ban following his red card against Gillingham.
Defender Leon Barnett, midfielder Sam Foley and forward Sam Hoskins are among the players pushing for starts.
Cameron Brannagan is finally in contention to make his Oxford debut.
The 21-year-old midfielder joined the U’s from Liverpool in January but suffered an ankle injury in only his second training session.
Caretaker boss Derek Fazackerley confirmed Brannagan was available and also hopes James Henry will shake off a dead leg.
But Joe Rothwell is out for up to three weeks with a hamstring injury.
