John-Joe O'Toole is banned for the visit of York after being sent off during Northampton's 1-1 draw with Mansfield.
The midfielder was dismissed in the game which had been branded 'John-Joe O'Toole Day' by the Cobblers.
Northampton opted not to appeal and he now starts a three-game suspension.

Diego De Girolamo is set to feature for York after rejoining from Sheffield United on a third loan spell.
The 19-year-old forward, who scored four goals in eight appearances for the Minstermen earlier this season, is out of contract in the summer, with York facing competition for his signature from Italian giants Juventus and Premier League club Sunderland.
Wes Fletcher's match-winning double against Tranmere last week is likely to mean De Girolamo will have to settle for a place on the bench.
