Peterborough name unchanged squad for Walsall clash

Posted Friday, December 21, 2018 by PA

Peterborough have an unchanged squad for their home game against Walsall.

Posh looked a little jaded as they battled to a 2-2 draw at Shrewsbury last weekend so boss Steve Evans might be thinking about freshening up his starting line-up.

The likes of Mark O’Hara and Jason Cummings could come into contention for recalls as Peterborough look to extend their 10-match unbeaten run in all competitions.

Cardiff forward Lee Tomlin has been training with Evans’ side and a deal has been agreed in principle for the former Posh player to return to the club on loan on January 1.

Walsall manager Dean Keates could make changes following the dismal 4-0 defeat at Bradford.

It was the type of performance Keates said he “won’t tolerate” and places in the starting line-up may be up for grabs as a result.

The Saddlers continue to monitor captain George Dobson, who has been nursing an unspecified injury in recent weeks, while fellow midfielder Zeli Ismail will also have his groin problem assessed once more.

Joe Edwards is expected to be among the substitutes again as he nears a return to full fitness following a knee problem.
