In-form Dale have no new injury worries

Posted Friday, March 16, 2018 by PA

Rochdale have no fresh injury concerns as they look to continue a good run of form against League One rivals AFC Wimbledon.

Keith Hill’s side have taken seven points from their last three games as they look to pull themselves out of the relegation zone.

They remain six points adrift of safety but have as many as three games in hand over some of the teams scrapping it out towards the foot of the table.

Hill has no new worries with Niall Canavan (ankle) and Keith Keane (groin) the only players carrying injuries, although the Dale boss could freshen up his attack having been left frustrated following the 0-0 draw at home to Southend.

AFC Wimbledon will run the rule over striker Cody McDonald after he picked up a foot injury.

The Dons are waiting to hear more about the problem before making a decision on his availability.

Defender Jonathan Meades stepped off the bench to score the winner against Oxford last weekend and in doing so, opened his account for the season.

He will be hoping to come into the starting line-up should boss Neal Ardley choose to make any changes, with Joe Pigott also vying for a starting berth.
