Peterborough United vs Coventry preview - Trio in line for Posh starts

Posted Friday, March 27, 2015 by PA

Peterborough interim manager Dave Robertson could throw three new arrivals straight in against Coventry.

Forward Luke Williams and defenders James Pearson and Alan Sheehan will spend the rest of the season at London Road after joining on loan deadline day, and are all in line for their debuts this weekend.

Robertson will make at least one change to his starting line-up with Ricardo Santos serving a one-game suspension for his red card against Chesterfield, while Kyle Vassell is unavailable after his loan move to Oxford.

Marcus Maddison comes back into the reckoning after serving a ban of his own and will look to help Posh increase their one-point advantage over seventh-placed Barnsley.

Marcus Tudgay could return for Coventry after missing their defeat to Doncaster last week with a hamstring injury.

James Maddison could also make his comeback to the Sky Blues' squad after he returned to full training this week following three months out with a back problem.

Reda Johnson is expected to remain sidelined with a muscle tear keeping the defender out of Coventry's battle against the drop.

Boss Tony Mowbray admitted he did not want to gamble on any late loan signings so will now make do with what he has at the Ricoh Arena.
