Town boss Paul Jewell says he expects midfielder Grant Leadbitter to be fit for Saturday’s home game against Peterborough United. The 26-year-old limped off towards the end of last week’s 2-2 draw at Hull City having netted both the Blues’ goals.

Jewell told the club site: "Grant strained his groin late on and we had to take him off. He's been having treatment all week and the signs are encouraging. We think he will be OK for Saturday."

Fellow midfielder Jimmy Bullard will be available for selection again with his club suspension for his Newcastle night out and subsequent lateness up on Friday, however, after two weeks out of training, the 33-year-old probably won’t be included in the 16.

Leadbitter scored 2 at Hull so im not complaining..
