“He’s going to have a scan to see if there’s anything there. He’s the type of lad that always wants to play and he’s been fantastic for us so it would be a blow to lose him.”

Richards is the leading goalscorer in Sky Bet League Two this season with 17 goals and has been Northampton’s most consistent performer to date following his summer move from Chesterfield.
