Josh Laurent could make a return from injury for Sam Ricketts’ Shrewsbury after he missed the 1-1 draw with Burton with an ankle injury.

After being out for two weeks following an eye injury, fellow midfielder Greg Docherty has also returned to training and will be assessed ahead of the game against Posh.

Former Wales international Dave Edwards remains suspended following his straight red card in the 1-1 draw with Bristol Rovers.
