Burton Albion FC vs Swindon - Robbie Weir eyes Burton return for Swindon clash

Midfielder Robbie Weir should return for Burton as they look to regain top spot in League One.

The Brewers' clash with Bradford on Boxing Day was postponed and Walsall took advantage to climb to the head of the standings.

Weir might well have played on Saturday following a foot injury so is likely to be fit for Monday's clash with Swindon at the Pirelli Stadium.

On-loan Wolves winger Zeli Ismail will be back in training with Burton this week after receiving treatment for an ankle injury at his parent club but Darius Charles (hamstring) could be out for another six weeks.

Raphael Branco will be missing for Swindon as he serves a one-match ban.

The defender was shown two yellow cards during Swindon's 3-1 defeat by Gillingham on Saturday.

Iraq midfielder Yaser Kasim returned from a foot injury as a substitute in that game so could start at Burton.

On-loan Liverpool midfielder Kevin Stewart is in contention following a lengthy absence with a knee injury but captain Nathan Thompson (groin) is likely to miss out.
