Millwall v Northampton Town. Match preview

Last updated : 12 August 2008 By Dave Foster
Osman missed Saturday's 4-2 win over Cheltenham as he served a one-match suspension but is in the squad for the trip to the New Den.

Giles Coke also missed the victory over the Robins as he nurses a sprained ankle but could also be in contention - though manager Stuart Gray is unlikely to risk him ahead of next weekend's trip to MK Dons.

Striker Adebayo Akinfenwa scored two penalties against Cheltenham despite a lack of match fitness and Gray will make a late decision on whether to hand him a start against the Lions.

Colin Larkin, Andy Holt, Liam Dolman and Alex Dyer could all come into the side if Gray decides to rotate his squad.

Millwall will await the outcome of an appeal against captain Paul Robinson's sending-off at Oldham before naming their side.

The defender was red-carded for bringing down Lee Hughes and will serve a one-match ban unless the Lions can get the decision overturned.

Fellow defenders Marcus Bignot and Danny Senda (both knee) are still missing.

Midfielder Danny Spiller, who has recently recovered from a long-term hernia problem, has a muscle injury which kept him out of the dramatic 4-3 defeat at Boundary Park and will not return to training until later in the week.

Ryan Smith is still out with a knee injury and Adrian Forbes is recovering from tonsilitis.
