Joe Walsh is major doubt for MK Dons against Macclesfield

Joe Walsh is a major doubt for MK Dons as they prepare to host bottom club Macclesfield.

The defender hobbled off against Brighton Under-21s on Tuesday night after he landed awkwardly challenging for a header and the club are awaiting the results of scans on the injury. Should Walsh miss out, as is likely, Jordan Moore-Taylor will come into the team.

Osman Sow has resumed training after an injury absence and he has a chance of being in the squad on Saturday.

However, the visit of the Silkmen will come too soon for Peter Pawlett and Ryan Harley.

Ryan Lloyd and Elliott Durrell returned from injury in the FA Cup defeat at Maidstone and should feature again for Macclesfield.

Their return to fitness means that Callum Evans and Danny Whitaker are the only remaining injury concerns.

Rhys Taylor could return in goal for the Silkmen after Kieran O’Hara, on loan from Manchester United, played in the cup games against Maidstone and West Brom Under-21s.

Keith Lowe and Nathan Blissett are others who will also be hoping for a recall.
