Fleetwood will be without Harry Souttar for their Sky Bet League One clash against Peterborough as the defender begins a three-match ban.
Souttar was sent off in the 65th minute of the defeat at Barnsley at the weekend and had an appeal against the suspension turned down. Lewis Baines and Dan Mooney have been recalled from respective loan spells at Stockport and Chester and could feature.
Craig Morgan and Dean Marney returned to training last week but did not feature at Barnsley, while Harrison Biggins will be looking for a starting spot after recovering from a foot injury to feature from the bench in South Yorkshire.
Winger Joe Ward will be pushing for a place in the Peterborough starting XI. He came on as a substitute in the 1-0 win at Blackpool after missing the victory over Gillingham due to family illness. On-loan Brighton defender Ben White could make his return from an ankle problem, having not featured since the win against Southend on March 23.
Posh remain firmly in the play-off chase and sit five points behind sixth-placed Doncaster after three successive victories. Peterborough have a game in hand over both Rovers and Coventry, who are three points behind in eighth.
After winning three successive games against Peterborough between April 2016 and April 2017, Fleetwood have lost each of their last three, including a 1-0 loss in October.
Peterborough have kept successive league clean sheets against Fleetwood after just one in their previous seven.
Fleetwood have won all four of their matches on Good Friday in the Football League, each by a one-goal margin, although this will be the first one played at home.
Peterborough are on a three-game winning streak in League One, their best run since winning the first five of the campaign.
No League One side has received more red cards this season than Fleetwood Town (7).
