Cobblers are likely to remain without captain Jon Guthrie plus midfielders Will Hondermarck and Jack Sowerby for Saturday’s League One fixture against Bolton Wanderers.
“Unfortunately I don’t think Jon will be available this weekend,” confirmed manager Jon Brady. “We’ll just see how he continues to progress over the next week because it’s an injury that we can’t rush and we want him to be at full strength when he comes back before he’s even considered for selection.
Cobblers should have Kieron Bowie available for the trip to Bolton after he scored twice for Scotland Under-21s on international duty. Brady added: “They were two fantastic goals sand I’m really pleased for him. I sent Kieron a text and it’s good he’s playing back up in Scotland because it’s really special for him to be around his family. We just hope he comes back with a clean bill of health.”
