Steve Guinan has been out since the start of December after hernia surgery but scored a hat-trick for the reserves in midweek and will be on the bench at Sixfields.
Manager Ian Sampson said: "He's not ready to start a game for the first team yet because he's only been back in training for a week after being out for around three months. But if he keeps scoring goals he will certainly come into contention for a starting place."
Midfielder Ryan Gilligan is available after missing the 2-0 win over Darlington last weekend with a knee injury while winger Andy Holt has returned to training after a knee problem of his own and may feature next week.
Kevin Thornton (knee), John Curtis (calf) and goalkeeper Chris Dunn (knee) remain sidelined as Sampson's side look to record a fifth straight win.
