Peterborough United vs Blackpool - Grant McCann could stick with winning line-up

Posted Friday, May 06, 2016 by PA

Peterborough caretaker manager Grant McCann may opt to stick with a winning side for the Sky Bet League One game against relegation-threatened Blackpool.

He has no new selection concerns following the dramatic 4-3 success at Shrewsbury last week, although out-of-favour loanee Simon Gillett has returned to parent club Yeovil.

Long-serving defender Gabriel Zakuani, who has made 253 appearances in two spells at Posh, could play his final game for the club as he is out of contract in the summer and has yet to be offered new terms.

Midfielder Jermaine Anderson and forward Joe Gormley continue to miss out due to long-term knee injuries, while striker Jordan Nicholson remains sidelined with a broken leg.

Struggling Blackpool are close to full fitness ahead of the must-win game.

Neil McDonald's men need a victory at London Road and Fleetwood to lose against Crewe in order to avoid back-to-back relegations.

He may decide to reshuffle his misfiring front-line following four games without a goal, which could mean starts for Uche Ikpeazu and Martin Paterson.

Long-term absentee Henry Cameron (anterior cruciate ligament injury) remains sidelined.
