Nearly time for the teams
My Peterborough United team: Posh will need to hassle the best possession side in the Championship
Peterborough United take on Swansea City, the team with the best possession stats in the Championship at the Weston Homes Stadium on Wednesday (March 16, 7,45pm).
Team news
Posh appear to have no new fitness worries but are expected to welcome Sammie Szmodics back into the squad. It could be a straight swap with Kwame Poku, with Poku taking his place on the bench for the match against Stoke.
Benda would have been ineligible for this match given that Swansea are his parent club but his injury takes care of that problem. Ex-Swansea keeper Dai Cornell will be in goal instead.
Swansea have an almost clean bill of health with midfielder Hannes Wolf, being monitored ahead of the match and may well have to settle for a place on the bench if he is fit at all.
More injury woes for Posh’s million pound man
Peterborough United’s million pound man visits a specialist in an attempt to save his season, but fellow forward back to face Swansea City
Peterborough United’s million pound summer signing Joel Randall’s season could be determined by a visit to a medical specialist today (March 15).
Swansea aren’t in any danger of going down but won’t be troubling their play-off race either in what has been a very up and down season. They probably have the right idea though, dealing only in wins and defeats. Much better that draws. They haven’t drawn for 11 matches. Winning four and losing six, showing why they are in the bottom half of the table.
