Burton Albion FC vs Peterborough United preview - As you were for Brewers
Posted Friday, August 21, 2015 by PA
Burton will have an unchanged squad for the visit of Peterborough.
That means on-loan Wolves winger Zeli Ismail has not yet recovered from the knee injury he sustained during pre-season and he continues to receive treatment back at his parent club.
The versatile Darius Charles is also still waiting to make his Albion debut as he works his way back to full fitness after a leg problem.
However, Burton boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has plenty of options available should he wish to make any changes to his team with the likes of Lucas Akins, Callum Reilly, Anthony O'Connor, Tom Naylor, Aurelien Joachim, Jerome Binnom-Williams and Matt Palmer all pushing for places in the starting line-up.
Peterborough manager Dave Robertson can only hope for a change of luck on the injury front as Posh look to bounce from a 3-1 home defeat against Sheffield United on Tuesday.
Kgosi Ntlhe went off with a foot injury during the first half of that game, while defender Alex Davey, who is on loan from Chelsea, suffered a hamstring problem.
Apart from assessing his latest fitness setbacks, Robertson will also require updates on Tobi Adebayo-Rowling and Michael Smith ahead of the Burton clash, although it is thought that both players could soon be back in action.
"We had a lot of things to deal with within the (Sheffield United) game - Kgosi going down early with his injury, and then having to change Alex when he went down. It's caused us some defensive issues, but we need to get over them and learn to manage those bits," Robertson said.
