Swindon v Peterborough preview: Robins hoping for Nathan Thompson boost
Thursday 19 January 2017 14:31, UK
Swindon manager Luke Williams could receive an injury boost ahead of their Sky Bet League One game with Peterborough.
Captain Nathan Thompson has been sidelined since December 30 with a foot injury but Williams believes the defender has a "good chance" of returning this weekend.
Jonathan Obika, who missed last weekend's 2-1 win at Bolton due to a hamstring injury, remains a doubt and will be assessed before the fixture.
James Brophy is available after sitting out at Bolton due to suspension but fellow defender Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill (ankle) is still sidelined.
Peterborough manager Grant McCann is hopeful Dominic Ball will be available for their trip to the County Ground.
The 21-year-old defender joined Posh on loan from Rotherham until the end of the season on January 3 but is yet to make his debut due to a back problem.
Jermaine Anderson and Jack Baldwin will not feature as both remain sidelined with knee injuries.
Peterborough head into the game looking to bounce back after their five-match unbeaten league run end with a 5-1 defeat at Bury last weekend.
