Port Vale vs Swindon - Ajay Leitch-Smith a doubt for Port Vale against Swindon

Port Vale could be without top-goalscorer Ajay Leitch-Smith for their Sky Bet League One clash against Swindon Town.

Leitch-Smith was substituted after half-time during their 1-0 win over Bury on Monday and will be assessed.

Fellow forward Uche Ikpeazu could return to the bench for Rob Page's side after missing the Bury game through illness.

Louis Dodds looks set to remain on the sidelines with hamstring strain.

Captain Raphael Branco will return for Swindon at Vale Park.

The Brazilian defender was suspended for the 1-0 defeat at Burton on Monday following his dismissal in the Boxing Day clash with Gillingham.

But fellow defender Bradley Barry picked up a fifth booking of the season against Burton and will not be available to caretaker coach Luke Williams, who takes over following the resignation of Martin Ling on Tuesday.

Nathan Thompson (groin) is definitely out, while Kevin Stewart is making progress from a knee problem.
