Luton vs AFC Wimbledon preview
Monday 22 April 2019 20:22, UK
League One leaders Luton will check on goalkeeper James Shea ahead of the visit of relegation-battlers AFC Wimbledon.
Shea missed the 3-0 win at Accrington on Good Friday through illness, so Marek Stech is ready to deputise again if needed. Midfielder Andrew Shinnie is available following suspension for his red card at Charlton.
Striker Danny Hylton has undergone minor knee surgery, while Alan McCormack (back) continues his recovery. Full-back Dan Potts and Glen Rea are still in rehabilitation with respective knee problems.
AFC Wimbledon boss Wally Downes, whose side are a point from safety, reported no fresh selection concerns for the trip to Kenilworth Road. Defender Toby Sibbick is expected to shake off the knock to his hip picked up during the 1-1 draw with Bristol Rovers.
Captain Deji Oshilaja is close to a return after being out since mid-February with a foot problem. Striker Kwesi Appiah continues to build up match fitness after his hamstring trouble, but is set to feature again for the development squad before coming back into first-team contention.
