Northampton Town manager Jon Brady anticipates having some tough decisions to make as key players return ahead of their match against Burton Albion this weekend.

Key Players Return from Injury

Several key players have made their return from injury, providing a boost to the team’s lineup. Among them are:

  • Jack Sowerby
  • Shaun McWilliams
  • Ben Fox
  • Sam Sherring
  • Sam Hoskins

These players featured in recent matches against Bristol Rovers and Oxford United, contributing to the team’s performances.

Pre-Planned Minutes for Returning Players

Brady explained that the minutes played by the returning players in the match against Oxford United were pre-planned. The coaching staff carefully managed their playing time, ensuring they could gradually build up their fitness levels without risking further injury.

Brady stated, “Everything against Oxford was pre-planned apart from the final two subs in terms of how many minutes players could have. Those were the constraints we had, but we are just starting to build a good amount of minutes for those players who need it.”

Building Momentum

With key players gradually regaining match fitness, Brady is optimistic about the team’s prospects. The increased competition for places in the starting lineup will provide the manager with welcome selection headaches. As the team continues to build momentum, Brady looks forward to the challenges of selecting the best lineup for the upcoming match against Burton Albion.
