In more derby day sport, Aaron Phillips (pictured) and Paul Anderson could return to Northampton Town's squad for Saturday's home game against Coventry.
Rod McDonald is also back in training while Brendan Moloney is still about a fortnight away from making a comeback.
"Aaron is back in full training and so is Paul," boss Justin Edinburgh told the Cobblers' website, external.
"Rod had a bit of a twinge in his back before Milton Keynes but he trained on Thursday and as long as he doesn't suffer a reaction he will be in contention.
"Brendan saw a specialist last week, he had a little bit of swelling on his knee that wasn't moving so he had that drained. That's freed up a bit of movement and he's now stepping up his recovery."

Council tax in Peterborough looks set to go up by 5% in April - 1% higher than originally planned.
The authority has just released the second part of its budget for 2017-18.
Five percent is the maximum that councils are able to put their tax up by without having a referendum.
The council says it has no choice but to make the increase as it's faced with a £28m budget gap.
It's also looking at a similar increase next year.

MPs and business leaders have been told that plans to upgrade the Ely rail junction are complex and will take a while to deliver.
There's been a long campaign to improve the junction, which would allow for more frequent services from King's Lynn and Norwich to Cambridge, Peterborough and on to London.
Network Rail told a summit in Downham Market earlier that due to problems in redesigning the junction and a nearby level crossing it wouldn't be able to start work until after 2019.
The meeting was told that improving the junction would bring a significant boost to the local economy.
Today local councils and business groups pledged almost £8m to fund a study into the project to keep things moving.

The newly formed Independents for Desborough political party, set to launch tonight, will aim to "make the town more vibrant".
Founder Kevin O'Brien said the party will be built around what residents really want.
"The ultimate aim is to increase turnout [at the next election] and if we can get a majority, then fantastic."
A group of disgruntled residents who opposed parish council plans to increase tax by 400% have formed their own political party.
Independents for Desborough will launch at The Ritz in the town this evening.
Founder Kevin O'Brien said the party manifesto will be "built around what the residents really want", with ideas including a town radio station and a loyalty scheme for people who use shops in the town centre.
Last year, hundreds of residents called for a vote of no confidence in Desborough Town Council when it increased the annual levy from £19.10 to £96.98.
Councillors argued the money was needed to fund a "truly wonderful future for Desborough".
The vote was passed by a huge majority of the 2,200 residents who took part, but the leader of the town council said he wouldn't be standing down and the tax increase remained in place.

We know the man arrested today by Cambridgeshire Police in its ongoing investigation into abuse in football is Michael Sean Carson, better known as "Kit".
Mr Carson, 74, is well known in footballing circles locally and indeed internationally, for what has at times been described as his "pioneering" youth development work - working with youngsters between the ages of nine and 16, and organising more than 30 tournaments abroad.
He joined Norwich City as youth manager in 1983, leaving 10 years later to take up the post of academy director at Peterborough United.
Image source, Kit CarsonIt was there, over the next 10 years at London Road, working with mangers including Chris Turner and Barry Fry, that Mr Carson developed a reputation for excellence within youth coaching, nurturing 13 youngsters to international honours.
In 2001, Mr Carson moved to Cambridge United, becoming head of youth development under manager Jon Taylor - a position he held until 2006.
Following a spell with Histon Football Club, he began coaching youth teams in Finland from 2012. It's unclear whether he's still actively involved coaching there.
We understand the allegations relate to his work at Cambridge United and Peterborough United.
Police confirmed they arrested a man in his 70s at his Cambridge home and took him into custody on suspicion of indecency with children, and indecent assault.
Cambridgeshire Police are encouraging anyone with concerns about these allegations to contact them on 101 or the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000.
