Some positive team news for Posh on the injury front
Peterborough United set to welcome back two players as boss Darren Ferguson calls for his side to show more aggression against Millwall
Posh boss Darren Ferguson has called on his side to show more aggression when they host Millwall on Saturday (December 11, 3pm) and has been boosted by two players returning from injury.
Millwall are not the biggest scorers, they have 23 in their 21 matches. Attacking wide midfielder Jed Wallace leads the way with five goals, followed by Benik Afobe with four. Posh can expect plenty of balls into the box to try and find the head of Afobe and Tom Bradshaw.
These will most likely be provided by their wingbacks, who line up alongside three large centre halves, Liam Cooper, Shaun Hutchinson and Murray Wallace, watch out for them at set pieces.
