MK Dons vs Morecambe preview

Baily Cargill is back to boost the MK Dons' defence for the home clash with Morecambe.

Centre-back Cargill was suspended for Saturday's 3-2 defeat at Stevenage after he was booked for the fifth time this season.

Dean Lewington moved from left wing-back to the centre of defence against Boro, with Mitch Hancox coming in for his first league appearance. Boss Paul Tisdale is likely to bring Cargill straight back in. Forward Brandon Thomas-Asante will not be involved after he joined National League side Sutton on loan until the end of January on Friday.

Fellow full-back James Sinclair is out for another few months with a broken ankle, while midfielder Aaron Wildig has a calf injury. Andy Fleming is still missing following a knee operation and the Shrimps' joint top scorer Rhys Oates is nursing a groin problem.
