FA Cup first round: Rochdale v Swindon preview

Reuben Noble-Lazarus will miss Rochdale's FA Cup first-round clash with Swindon.

The striker dislocated his shoulder in training and was due to have a scan on Friday to determine the severity of the injury.

Calvin Andrew, Michael Rose and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing are all pushing for starts after inspiring Dale's fightback at Southend last week.

The trio came off the bench at half-time and helped Keith Hill's side recover from 2-0 down to earn a draw, with Rose's stunning free-kick clinching the point.

Martin Ling takes charge of his first match as Swindon manager and has Louis Thompson and Adam El-Abd both available.

The on-loan pair have been given permission to play by parent clubs Norwich and Bristol City, but Ben Gladwin, who has extended his stay from QPR for another month, is ineligible.

Striker Wes Thomas has returned to training after more than a month out with a hamstring problem but this game will come too soon.

Drissa Traore is available, though, after returning from France, where he had been sorting out a family problem.
