Northampton Town left-back Ali Koiki is facing another spell on the sidelines after suffering a thigh injury. The 25-year-old had only just returned to the squad, making three appearances from the bench this month, having not played since August with a muscle problem.
What happened?
Koiki's injury is a major blow to Northampton Town's League One campaign. Cobblers manager Kevin Nolan confirmed that Koiki will not play against Cambridge United on Saturday and will be out "for a while".
Impact on the team
Northampton Town are currently 24th in League One, with 35 points from 46 games, and a recent form of LLLLL. The team has scored 39 goals this season, but conceded 74, resulting in a goal difference of -35.
Upcoming games
Northampton Town will face Cambridge United on Saturday without Koiki and possibly Jordan Willis, who is doubtful due to a tight hamstring. The team is 19th in League One, six points clear of the relegation places, with eight games left to play.
