Season over for 'one or two' players as Calderwood provides Liam Shaw update
A couple of unnamed players have picked up injuries that will likely rule them out for the final five games of the season.
Speaking at his press conference ahead of Wednesday’s game at Luton Town, Cobblers interim manager Colin Calderwood gave an update on Kyle Edwards, who limped off against Wigan last time out, and revealed one or two others could be done for the season.
"Kyle took a sore one and he’s under assessment at the moment,” said Calderwood. “He needs to go see another specialist either today (Monday) or tomorrow and he probably won’t make midweek. There are also one or two players with knocks that we are going to look after and that might be a case of the season being over for them and just getting them ready for next season.”
Midfielder Liam Shaw, who has not played at all this season following an ACL injury sustained nearly 14 months ago, is back in light training. The 25-year-old did briefly return to the grass at the end of 2025 before picking up a new problem.
"Liam’s back on the grass and he had another check up last week,” Calderwood added. “It’s still very early for him and he’s in the preliminary stage of his rehabilitation in terms of being outside and getting his legs moving. He needs this bout of work to get towards the end of the season and beyond.
"He’ll have a good rest in the summer and then he’ll probably come back in earlier than everyone else for the start of the next season. It’s nice to see him out there but he won’t play any part this season.”
