Blackpool to be without key man for midweek Peterborough United trip

The midfielder’s yellow card during the second half of the 2-1 defeat to Barnsley at Bloomfield Road was his fifth booking of the campaign.

This means the 30-year-old will now serve a one-match suspension, leaving him ineligible for the midweek trip to the Weston Homes Stadium.

“It’s disappointing because he’s been terrific,” said Seasiders assistant coach Steve Agnew.

“His set-play delivery is superb, we scored from one today (against Barnsley) - so we will miss that, we’ll miss his leadership qualities, and his ability on the pitch.

“He’s a senior player, a voice and an organiser, but when this happens or injuries come along it’s an opportunity for someone else.

“We’ll be looking at who’s fit and available and prepare for Peterborough.”
