Peterborough v Accrington preview
Friday 19 October 2018 12:17, UK
Marcus Maddison is in contention to feature for Peterborough in their Sky Bet League One clash with Accrington following illness and injury.
Midfielder Maddison has recovered from tonsillitis and a minor hamstring complaint.
Goalkeeper Conor O'Malley is available again following a shoulder problem, while on-loan Leeds defender Tyler Denton has recovered from an ankle issue and could also play. Defender Josh Yorwerth has recovered from illness but is still unavailable for personal reasons.
Accrington captain Seamus Conneely is nearing a return from a groin injury, but may not be risked. Midfielder Conneely has missed the last three league games, with Dan Barlaser, who is on loan from Newcastle, impressing in his absence.
Goalkeeper Connor Ripley is suspended for the second game of a three-match ban for his sending-off against Shrewsbury. Defender Harvey Rodgers (knee) remains out.
