Peterborough United manager Gary Johnson admitted following the defeat to Leicester City that he is looking to bring another defender to the club.

With Gabriel Zakuani yet to feature in a pre-season game due to a groin injury, Johnson may look to add to his defensive options before the season opener against Bristol Rovers on Saturday 7th August.

'Gabriel is getting a bit frustrated and that is understandable as he has been out for some time. He has yet to feature in a pre-season game and he is running out of time to make the squad for the Bristol Rovers game.

'We are looking after him, the medical people are keeping an eye on his progress and specialists have also had a look, but he is hopefully not too far away.

'I may look to bring another defender into the club if I can because it is important to have options. To be fair, prior to the game against Leicester, Ryan Bennett and Kelvin Langmead had forged a good partnership, and overall they have done well.

'We had Franck Queudrue here on trial and he would of obviously been a good signing, but he received a good offer from Greece and has signed for a club out there,' Johnson said.

The Posh boss also confirmed that the final pre-season friendly at Barnet on Saturday will give the players one last chance to impress.

'I am hoping to play as near to the first choice side as I can at Barnet, but the players still have time to impress me in training and in that fixture,' Johnson added.
