Full back Joe Rafferty will be forced to sit out this weekend's game with Peterborough through suspension.

Rafferty was sent off in the final game of the 2014-15 season after picking up two yellow cards in the game at Oakwell. As such, he receives a one match suspension meaning that he will miss the Posh game.

Based on team selections from last season, it's expected that teenager Andy Cannon will replace Rafferty and will have an opportunity to make that position his own.
