Edwards has not featured since January when he sustained an abductor injury during Town’s 2-1 home defeat to Wycombe. Kevin Nolan revealed last week that the 28-year-old was back in training and had an outside chance of playing against AFC Wimbledon on Sunday.
Although he did not appear in the matchday squad at Plough Lane, Edwards got some valuable minutes under his belt when Cobblers fielded an otherwise youthful under-21s on Tuesday. James Dadge and Josh Tomlinson also featured, as did Neo Dobson.
