AFC Wimbledon vs Luton Town preview - Dons waiting on Shea

Posted Friday, February 20, 2015 by PA

AFC Wimbledon are hopeful goalkeeper James Shea will be fit to face Luton.

Shea left the field on a stretcher during the first half of last weekend's 2-0 defeat by Shrewsbury after taking a blow to the face as he collected a cross, but he avoided a broken nose and should be available.

Left-back Jack Smith is fit after a thigh injury but Mark Phillips is still suspended and fellow defenders Jake Goodman (toe), Will Nightingale (knee) and Andy Frampton (ankle) remain sidelined.

Striker Adebayo Akinfenwa could return to the starting line-up after dropping to the bench against the Shrews.

Cameron McGeehan is available to Luton boss John Still for the first time since returning to the club on loan from Norwich.

The midfielder , who played a key role in the Hatters winning the Conference title last season and securing a return to the Football League, has been suspended since rejoining Town last weekend.

However, defenders Steve McNulty and Luke Wilkinson are both still banned while Alex Lawless (foot) and Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu are not yet ready to return from injury. Paul Benson (broken leg), Nathan Doyle and Luke Rooney (hernia) also remain out injured.

Young West Ham striker Elliot Lee is expected to be included in the travelling party. Hatters boss Still has said the 20-year-old, son of former Charlton and Newcastle midfielder Rob, will probably be on the bench.
