Russell Martin set to keep faith with Rhys Healey
Posted Tuesday, December 31, 2019 by PA
MK Dons manager Russell Martin will stick with striker Rhys Healey for the visit of Bristol Rovers on New Year’s Day.
Healey made his first start in almost four months against Portsmouth at Stadium MK on Sunday and justified his selection by scoring the goal that put his side on the way to a 3-1 win over their in-form opponents.
Martin also recalled George Williams, who had been out since November due to suspension, and was delighted with the changes as his charges secured a third straight home victory that eased their relegation fears.
Former Arsenal and Everton striker attacker Kieran Agard may once more have to be content with a place on the bench after coming on as a substitute on Sunday.
Rovers manager Ben Garner, preparing to take charge of his third match, is still grappling with an injury crisis, with eight players on the sidelines.
Cameron Hargreaves is set for another outing after seizing his opportunity in the goalless draw against Fleetwood on Sunday.
With Abu Ogogo taken off with a knock at half-time, there is an even greater need for Garner to use the fringes of his squad and that could see the likes of Lucas Tomlinson and Luke Russe getting minutes with Hargreaves on Wednesday.
Garner will also have the services of striker Gavin Reilly, who has returned from his loan spell at Cheltenham.
