George Cooper and Tyler Denton unavailable for Posh

Posted Friday, September 28, 2018 by PA

Sky Bet League One leaders Peterborough will be without injured duo George Cooper and Tyler Denton for the visit of Blackpool.

Midfielder Cooper has been suffering with a groin problem, while defender Denton will not be risked because of a knock.

Posh boss Steve Evans has no other selection concerns and has plenty of competition for places after being impressed with a handful of players during a reserve game.

Defenders Josh Yorwerth and Darren Lyon were among those who caught the eye of Evans, along with Callum Cooke, who scored as a substitute last weekend, and fellow midfielder Joe Ward.

Michael Nottingham is in contention for a place in Blackpool’s starting XI after a standout performance in Tuesday’s Carabao Cup win over QPR.

The defender, signed from Salford in the summer, has not started a league game for the Seasiders since the start of the month, with Ollie Turton preferred at right-back.

Defender Donervon Daniels is once again unavailable as he completes a three-game suspension after being sent off in the 1-0 win at Plymouth.

Captain Jimmy Ryan remains a long-term absentee with knee trouble.
