Posh boss Darren Ferguson will field two separate XIs for 45 minutes apiece with a young trialist centre-back expected ti take part. Flynn Clarke will miss out because of a toe injury, while Dan Butler is absent because of a groin problem.

Ferguson said: “We need to up our tempo for this game, but I think there will be an improvement in that because of the surface.

“When the season gets underway it will be Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, so we have to be ready and get used to it. I wasn’t too disappointed on Saturday, these games can frustrate you if you let it, the most important thing is getting the players through the games and get fitness into them.

“It is a very different pre-season to normal. We have to gradually build them up. We have some excellent games scheduled and we are looking forward to them. Everything we do from day one needs to be right, we need to be bang at it, because it will be a shorter season in terms of the length of the campaign. We have to get used to playing in front of no fans. We have to get that mindset right.”
