Peterborough manager Grant McCann has no fresh injury or suspension concerns as his side welcome Bury in Sky Bet League One on Saturday.

Right-back Michael Smith is away on international duty with Northern Ireland so Hayden White is expected to take his place.

Teenager Deon Moore started against MK Dons in midweek but first-choice striker Tom Nichols is expected to re-gain his place.

Posh are looking for their first win in the league since August but Brad Inman, Lee Angol (both ankle) and Jermaine Anderson (anterior cruciate ligament) remain sidelined.

Bury will be without midfielders Jacob Mellis and Tom Soares through suspension after both collected their fifth yellow cards of the season against Scunthorpe last weekend.

Winger Danny Mayor (ankle) and striker James Vaughan (knee) could also both be doubtful for the trip.

Bury suffered a blow this week as they learned right-back Craig Jones' thigh injury could keep him out for around six weeks.

Fellow defenders Nathan Cameron and Leon Barnett also remain on the sidelines.
