Liam Gibson is a doubt for Accrington’s crunch League One clash against Rochdale.

Dale are in the bottom four and will be without Ethan Ebanks-Landell.

The on-loan Wolves man sustained a thigh injury in training on Monday and has returned to his parent club for treatment, with the problem expected to rule him out for at least three or four weeks.

Midfielder Jordan Williams serves the second game of a two-match suspension after amassing 10 yellow cards this season.
