After four months out with a hamstring injury, Jack Marriott is set to return to the first team picture in time for Peterborough United’s Championship fixture against West Brom at the weekend.
Meanwhile, Darren Ferguson will have to decide whether to stick with current first choice goalkeeper, Dian Cornell, or replace him with new signing Steven Benda.
The 6ft 4 shot-stopped joined Posh on loan from Swansea City last week to provide Cornell with some competition in between the sticks.
