Cobblers boosted by Kirk return


The Cobblers have been boosted by the news that top scorer Andy Kirk will be back in contention to return for tomorrow nights’ game with AFC Bournemouth at Sixfields. Kirk has missed the last couple of games, including Saturdays’ 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest through injury but will be back in the squad to face the Cherries.

On the other side of injury news, Ian Henderson will be out for the next couple of weeks after picking up a knee ligament injury in training. The former Norwich man was a key figure in the City Ground draw and the injury comes as a blow after he had began to get into first team action following a string of injuries.

Cobblers boss Stuart Gray said that the injury situation is taking its toll on the small squad at Sixfields.

Gray said, “We haven’t got the biggest of squads and we could probably do with two or three more bodies but we have to go with what we’ve got and whatever eleven I play will have to give one hundred percent in terms of their effort and commitment.”
