Team news ahead of Tuesday night's Championship clash between Peterborough and Millwall at London Road.

Peterborough are boosted by the return of Daniel Kearns.

Kearns missed the Capital One Cup win over Southend and the defeat at Leicester on the opening day on the Championship campaign with a knee injury sustained during the club's pre-season preparations.

Emile Sinclair recovered from a summer ankle operation to make his first appearance of the season as a second-half substitute against the Foxes on Saturday.

Fellow striker Tyrone Barnett has missed the opening two matches of the campaign with a hamstring problem and he remains a doubt.

Summer signing Nathaniel Mendez-Laing (hamstring), Tommy Rowe (collar bone) and long-term injury victim David Hibbert remain unavailable to Posh boss Darren Ferguson.

Jack Smith is an injury doubt for Millwall.

The full-back hobbled off clutching his thigh during the second half of Saturday's 2-0 home defeat by Blackpool.

If Smith misses out boss Kenny Jackett will be short at the back as skipper Paul Robinson is still recovering from a summer hernia operation.

Midfielder Tamika Mkandawire, who can cover in defence, is also in the treatment room having undergone knee surgery.

Summer signing Chris Taylor was missing from the squad at the weekend but Jackett revealed the former Oldham winger is not injured so he could come back into contention.

Striker Shaun Batt, who was on the bench on Saturday, hopes to get a run-out against his former club.
