Stuart Gray is counting the cost of a number of injuries picked up at Tranmere Rovers on Saturday as he prepares his side to meet Brighton & Hove Albion in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy on Tuesday night.

"Ryan Gilligan is definitely ruled out," confirmed the Cobblers boss.

"He picked up a hamstring injury at Tranmere so he will be out for at least ten days but hopefully he will be back for the game against Peterborough.

"Jason Crowe has got a bruised hip and Giles Coke a bit of a sore groin so we will have to look at both of them.

"Chris Doig had some stitches in his head on Saturday and he was a bit groggy but I think he will be okay to play on Tuesday night.

"Leon Constantine and Colin Larkin are both back in training so as long as they don't suffer any reaction to that they will come into contention."
