Notts County v Peterborough preview

Notts County hope to have leading scorer Jon Stead back for their FA Cup tie at home to Peterborough on Sunday.

The nine-goal striker resumed training last week after more than a month out with an ankle injury and was pencilled in to play for the reserves on Tuesday but the game was postponed due to a frozen pitch. A late decision will be made on his fitness.

Rob Milson is available again after a one-match ban but fellow midfielder Stanley Aborah remains an injury doubt.

Winger Alex Rodman could overcome a groin problem as the Magpies look to make it through to round three for the first time since 2012.

Peterborough manager Grant McCann has no fresh injury or suspension concerns.

However, the Posh boss is expected to make changes from the side which lost to Scunthorpe after claiming this week that he is not scared of dropping players who are "not trying."

Peterborough's match against Oldham last week was postponed due to a frozen pitch which means defender Jack Baldwin will be unavailable.
