Milton Keynes Dons vs Fleetwood Town - Potter set to return for MK Dons

Posted Thursday, February 16, 2017 by PA

MK Dons have midfielder Darren Potter available again for the visit of promotion-chasing Fleetwood.

Potter served a one-match ban as the Dons drew 0-0 against Bury on Tuesday night and he is expected to go straight back into the team at the weekend.

He is likely to be a direct replacement for Ed Upson, who received his 10th yellow card of the season at Gigg Lane and is now suspended for two games.

Joe Walsh will complete his two-match ban while fellow defender, and captain, Dean Lewington continues to struggle with an ankle injury. It is hoped striker Nicky Maynard will recover from the knock that ruled him out at Bury.

Fleetwood striker Wes Burns remains a doubt after missing the midweek win over Bradford with a leg injury.

Devante Cole is set to continue up front but Ashley Hunter and midfielder Bobby Grant, who came on to change the result in midweek, are pushing for places.

On-loan Liverpool midfielder Cameron Brannagan, who made his first start with an hour against against the Bantams, could be the one to drop out.

Defender Nathan Pond (knee), Jimmy Ryan (foot) and Martyn Woolford (knee) remain sidelined.
