Peterborough manager Darren Ferguson will welcome back inspirational defender Gabriel Zakuani for the trip to face Colchester as Posh look to secure promotion to the Championship.

An away win coupled with a defeat for MK Dons at home to Walsall will see Posh promoted and they will have Lee Frecklington fit for the trip, with Welsh defender Craig Morgan also back after three months out with a toe injury.

Leyton Orient midfielder Jason Demetriou is set to return following his recovery from an ankle injury, while Adam Boyd (virus) is unlikely to play despite shaking off an ankle injury.

Northampton boss Stuart Gray is facing an injury crisis ahead of the crucial clash with already-relegated Hereford.

Paul Rodgers (knee), Jason Crowe (foot), Giles Coke (calf) and Adebayo Akinfenwa (back) are all struggling, but Liam Davis (foot) could return.
