Peterborough United's preparations for Saturday's FA Cup third round clash with Tottenham Hotspur have continued despite suffering a setback with the news that striker Aaron Mclean is struggling with illness.

The transfer-listed front man was suffering with sickness and was not at London Road for the training session. Meanwhile, there was better news with goalkeeper Joe Lewis expected to be fit for the clash at White Hart Lane.

Lewis had a precationary scan earlier in the week after sustaining a side injury against Cardiff City, but he is due to be between the sticks against Harry Redknapp's men.

Exodus Geohaghon and Josh Simpson are both cup-tied, while Gabriel Zakuani is struggling with a groin injury. Ryan Bennett was back in training after concussion and should line-up against Spurs.
