Peterborough United vs Oldham Athletic AFC - Michael Bostwick missing for Peterborough ahead of Oldham's visit

Posted Tuesday, February 23, 2016 by PA

Peterborough's problems are mounting as they prepare for the visit of Oldham, desperately needing a win to get their play-off challenge back on track.

Captain Michael Bostwick is a definite absentee on Tuesday night through suspension after collecting his 10th yellow card of the season in the defeat against Millwall.

Fellow centre-half Gaby Zakuani, on-loan left-back Harry Toffolo and midfielder Chris Forrester are all nursing knocks following the 3-0 drubbing at the Den and are doubts.

Lee Angol missed out at Millwall because of a muscle strain and the striker will be checked on ahead of kick-off.

Oldham will select from a similar squad to the one which beat Gillingham 2-1 after John Sheridan reported no new injuries.

Midfielder Mike Jones (knee) is still out, as are Dominic Poleon and Brian Wilson (both groin), with the latter due back in full training this week.

Matt Palmer's loan deal expires after Saturday's clash at Scunthorpe but Sheridan has confirmed he is considering extending that arrangement.

Curtis Main looks set to continue up front after making his full debut at the weekend while Sheridan insisted Carl Winchester may be recalled after dropping to the bench.
