Swindon suffer double injury blow before Northampton opener
Swindon are set to be without both Joe Snowdon and Sam Inwood for Saturday's League Two curtain-raiser against Northampton Town.
Defender Inwood, who joined Swindon on a season-long loan from Bolton Wanderers earlier this month, is expected to miss several weeks after suffering a hamstring tear during last weekend’s Carabao Cup defeat at Cardiff.
Midfielder Snowdon was expected to feature against Cardiff but he is struggling with a tight hamstring. Manager Ian Holloway said: "I haven't seen him this week, so that's not good news. He's still feeling it every time he tries to start, so it's precautionary that we're leaving him out, but he will be back soon.”
Ryan Tafazolli is only likely to make the bench but Northampton-born defender Kaelan Majekodunmi will be available after his international clearance came through, and Ollie Clarke has trained this week.
