Team News: Shaun Brisley back for Peterborough United

Peterborough United defender Shaun Brisley is included in the starting XI for tonight's League One clash against Colchester United at London Road after recovering from a hamstring injury.

Midfielder Joe Newell begins a three-match ban, while Jack Baldwin, Ben Nugent, Nicky Ajose and Conor Washington are all available after being cup-tied in Sunday's Johnstone's Paint Trophy final victory against Chesterfield.

Colchester loanee Alex Wynter, previously expected to start the game, makes the bench for tonight's clash, having joined from Crystal Palace last week.

However Sanchez Watt, who has missed the last two matches with a quad injury, remains out for the struggling U's.
