Hope of swift returns for two Peterborough United stars and why Peter Kioso was preferred to David Okagbue
Luke Williams insists either Jimmy-Jay Morgan nor Ben Woods have any serious injury issues.
Forward Morgan was a surprise absentee from the squad for Thursday’s 3-1 home defeat to Port Vale, while midfielder Woods missed out for the second game in a row after Williams had previously said his return against Cardiff had ‘knocked the stuffing out of him.’
Williams was keen to point out that neither player was ‘injured’ and seemed positive that both could feature against Burton Albion at the Weston Homes Stadium on Sunday (April 19).
Williams also discussed the surprise selection at the back with specialist right-back Peter Kioso preferred to Dave Okagbue at centre-back.
Williams on Morgan: “He’s in a bit of pain with something from the Blackpool game. It’s not an injury, but he’s in a lot of discomfort. It should settle down very quickly.
On Woods: “Today was too soon.” When asked if there was hope for him for Sunday, he said “yeah, yeah,”
On Okagbue: “He’s fit enough, but I don't think the combination was great in the previous game and so we tried something different, but that wasn’t so good either.”
