McFadzean missing against Dale

MK Dons will be without the suspended Kyle McFadzean against Rochdale.

McFadzean received his fifth yellow card of the season during the home win over Port Vale at the weekend and the defender will serve a one-match ban on Tuesday night.

Other changes may also be in the pipeline, with Dons boss Karl Robinson last week hinting that he plans to rotate his forward players. That means the likes of Danny Green, Dean Bowditch and Will Grigg - all on the bench against Vale - could be poised for recalls.

George Baldock remains an injury concern for the Milton Keynes club. The full-back has been nursing a slight thigh strain recently.

Rochdale striker Ian Henderson will return to contention following his three-game ban, but Matty Done could miss out through suspension if the club lose their appeal against the midfielder's dismissal in Saturday's home defeat to Doncaster.

Henderson , sent off in the recent FA Cup tie at Northampton, is expected to be included in Keith Hill's squad, while Done will be forced to start a three-match ban if the club fail to get his red card for a challenge on James Coppinger rescinded.

On-loan Blackburn defender Jack O'Connell is hoping to return to the squad and midfielder Bastien Hery, striker Jack Muldoon and defender Joe Rafferty are pushing for recalls. Midfielder Peter Vincenti (knee) remains sidelined.

Dale are looking to bounce back from two successive league defeats.
