Rochdale vs Southend United - Ian Henderson banned for Dale

Rochdale will be without suspended striker Ian Henderson for their Sky Bet League One clash with Southend.

Henderson was sent off for two bookable offences in last weekend's derby victory at Oldham.

His absence could lead to a start for Grant Holt, who overcame a back injury to come off the bench against Latics.

Manager Keith Hill is without forwards Calvin Andrew (foot) and Reuben Noble-Lazarus (hip) and midfielder Matty Lund (hamstring).

Southend midfielder David Worrall is back in contention and ready to play his part in the Blues' bid to make the play-offs.

Worrall has been out of action for three weeks but is available again after overcoming an injury to his right leg which required 10 stitches.

Piotr Malarczyk could make his debut after the Polish defender joined on loan from Ipswich for the rest of the season.

Southend currently sit ninth in the table, one point above Rochdale, who are 11th.
