Peterborough United are again expected to be without club captain Harrison Burrows in the Tuesday night friendly at Spalding United (7.45pm kick off).

Burrows will not play because of continued transfer speculation. He has attracted serious attention from various Championship clubs including Sheffield United as well as a top League One club believed to be Birmingham City. The 22 year-old didn’t play in last Friday’s 1-0 friendly defeat at the hands of AFC Wimbledon, a match played in Spain.

It’s understood Burrows won’t join Sheffield United until a protracted takeover of the club is completed. There is a chance the Blades, who are believed to have agreed a fee with Posh and personal terms with Burrows, will be gazumped by a rival club.
