There are no fresh injury concerns for Cobblers boss Jon Brady ahead of Saturday’s trip to Carlisle.
“We’ve had a busy month and it’s been really nice this week to take a bit of a step back,” he said.
“We’ve given the players some extra rest and we’ve also had some more time to do a bit more individual work."
Josh Eppiah (calf) will miss Saturday’s game at Brunton Park but Brady is hoping the Leicester City loanee will return to action in two weeks.
“Josh has been really unlucky with injuries but we are hoping to have him back in a couple of weeks," said Brady.
“He has been working hard and he says he is feeling a lot better.”
