Peterborough United vs Luton Town - Martin Samuelsen could make Peterborough debut

Posted Friday, December 04, 2015 by PA

Peterborough loan signing Martin Samuelsen could make his home debut for the club against Luton.

The Norwegian midfielder, on loan from West Ham, stepped off the bench for his first appearance in last week's win at Scunthorpe and could feature in the FA Cup second round tie.

Boss Graham Westley has no new injury or suspension worries, but Gabriel Zakuani (hamstring) is still out, while Kgosi Ntlhe (toe), Joe Gormley and Shaun Brisley (both knee) remain long-term absentees.

Westley's side, who won at Burton in the previous round, are chasing a sixth straight win in all competitions.

Luton midfielder Nathan Doyle is expected to return to the squad for the tie against Peterborough.

Doyle has missed most of November through injury but stepped off the bench last week and confirmed his return to full fitness by completing 90 minutes in a midweek development game.

Defenders Magnus Okuonghae and Stephen O'Donnell played in the same game but will be given another week to build up match fitness.

Goalkeeper Mark Tyler, striker Craig Mackail-Smith, forward Josh McQuoid and full-back Scott Griffiths are all hoping to feature against their former club, but Paul Benson sits out the final game of a three-match ban.
