Rochdale vs Aldershot preview - O'Connell ineligible for Dale

Rochdale will be without on-loan defender Jack O'Connell for the FA Cup second-round replay against Aldershot.

Blackburn centre-half O'Connell does not have permission from his parent club to play in the competition, so Ollie Lancashire could drop back into the heart of defence.

Defender Rhys Bennett is expected to remain sidelined following recent emergency dental treatment, while striker Joe Bunney did not train at all last week due to illness.

Manager Keith Hill does not have any other new injury or suspension worries, while midfielder Jamie Allen and defender Scott Tanser are both hoping to return to the squad.

Aldershot boss Andy Scott is set to ring the changes after a humbling by Burgess Hill Town last weekend.

Scott played his strongest side in Saturday's 1-0 FA Trophy defeat to the Ryman South side and the fuming boss hinted after the final whistle that it could be the final appearance for many of his Aldershot players.

But he is short of bodies to bring into the side including Josh Scott who has broken a metatarsal while Joe N'Guessan (ankle), Anthony Tonkin (calf) and Damon Lathrope (groin) all look set to miss out once more.

Joe Oastler's fractured cheekbone will sideline him but Tristan Plummer could return to the fold having been unavailable for the trophy clash having figured for Weymouth in that competition.
