Full-backs Lee Brown (Achilles) and Brandon Haunstrup (knee) and midfielder Bryn Morris (groin) remain sidelined.

Ryan Williams will undergo a late fitness test on a groin problem, while the versatile Oli Hawkins returned to the squad at Walsall and Jack Whatmough (knee) is close to full fitness having been out since February 2019.

AFC Wimbledon could hand a debut to defender Mads Bech Sorensen after he joined on loan from Brentford.

Ossama Ashley is pushing for a place in the matchday squad following cruciate ligament surgery, while Michael Folivi and Adam Roscrow are nearing full fitness.

Scott Wagstaff is back in full training following a calf problem and could feature in Glyn Hodges’ squad.

Anthony Wordsworth (calf), Kwesi Appiah, Paul Kalambayi (both ankle) and Will Nightingale all miss out.
