Peterborough United manager Darren Ferguson has reiterated that striker Craig Mackail-Smith will not be risked at Newcastle unless he can prove his fitness.Mackail-Smith missed Posh's last two matches with a hamstring problem. He was due to train with the rest of the first-team squad today.
Ferguson said: "Hopefully Craig will train and come through okay, but he really has to be 100 per cent ready or I won't take the risk.
"There is no point in playing him on Saturday, causing further damage to the hamstring and being without him for six-to-eight weeks."
