Kevin van Veen is a doubt for Northampton's League One clash with Plymouth on Saturday.
The striker suffered a dead leg in last weekend's 3-2 win at Bury and has also been battling a sickness bug this week. Forward Kevin Luckassen has failed to beat his thigh problem in time, so will miss out.
Matt Crooks, though, has recovered fully from a hamstring strain so is in contention for a starting berth.
Ryan Taylor will be missing for Plymouth, with the striker still battling ankle trouble. Joel Grant should deputise for Taylor, while boss Derek Adams faces a goalkeeping choice.
Remi Matthews is available again after missing two matches for the birth of his daughter. Kyle Letheren has impressed in his two appearances in Matthews' absence, leaving Adams weighing up which man to play from the start.
Northampton have lost three consecutive home league games against Plymouth, with each of those coming in League Two. They were undefeated in 16 against them in all competitions prior to this run (W10 D6).
The Pilgrims have won six of their last seven league meetings with the Cobblers, losing the other 2-1 in January 2016.
Northampton have picked up just two points from their last six home league games (D2 L4), they last went on a longer run without victory in January 2012 (nine successive games).
Plymouth have won nine of their last 12 league games (D2 L1), however they've failed to win in their last two on the road (D1 L1).
Graham Carey has been directly involved in five goals in his last five League One outings for Plymouth (4 goals, 1 assist).
