Northampton Town vs Bury preview - Sinclair sidelined for Cobblers

Emile Sinclair is out with a hamstring problem for Northampton's clash with Bury but the Cobblers' problems have cleared up after their nightmare injury list.

Zander Diamond is is likely to partner Kelvin Langmead in defence after recovering from his ankle injury to return in the 2-1 defeat to Carlisle on Saturday.

Goalkeeper Jordan Archer is set to return to Tottenham next month and is unlikely to feature for Chris Wilder's side.

Matt Duke is set to continue in goal with Dean Snedker as back up.

Bury have injury concerns for the trip following the news that Keil O'Brien and Rob Milsom face spells on the sidelines.

Defender O'Brien sustained a knee injury in his debut against Luton in the FA Cup replay and will miss around three weeks of action as a result.

Meanwhile, loan midfielder Milsom has returned to parent club Rotherham for treatment on a thigh tear which looks set to keep him out for around a month.

Elsewhere Pablo Mills' groin injury flared up again in the draw at York, and manager David Flitcroft has suggested the central defender may have to be held back to ensure it heals up.
