Tom Soares, James Hanson and Scott Wagstaff set for Dons return
Posted Friday, September 14, 2018 by PA
AFC Wimbledon boss Neal Ardley is expecting a triple injury boost ahead of his side’s League One clash with struggling Scunthorpe.
Tom Soares (hamstring), James Hanson (calf) and Scott Wagstaff (calf) were all forced off during last week’s bruising win over Gillingham.
But Ardley is confident all three players will be fit to line up against Stuart McCall’s side on Saturday.
Ben Purrington is also expected to be fit despite suffering a minor knee injury in training, as the Dons chase their first home win.
McCall must shrug off the disappointment of wasting a 3-1 lead to draw 3-3 against Rochdale last week.
The former Bradford boss will be able to call upon Leicester loanee George Thomas, who missed out last week as he was on international duty with Wales Under-21s.
McCall is remaining coy on the injury front but does not expect to have to deal with any new concerns.
Goalkeepers Rory Watson (broken arm) and Matt Gilks (knee) remain long-term absentees.
