MK Dons vs Swindon preview
Friday 8 February 2019 11:07, UK
MK Dons could be without Jordan Moore-Taylor when they host Swindon at Stadium MK on Saturday.
The former Exeter captain is missing after suffering a knee injury against Grimsby but on-loan midfielder Jake Hesketh could start after he made his debut as a 55th-minute substitute in the Dons' 3-1 defeat to the Grecians.
Callum Brittain could return soon - an ankle injury and tonsillitis have kept the defender sidelined. Fellow defender George Williams remains out with a hamstring injury after limping off against Bury on January 12.
Swindon could be without Luke Woolfenden as they head to Milton Keynes looking for a third successive away victory. Boss Richie Wellens said the centre-back had a tight calf and could miss out while Kyle Knoyle could return after being left out of the Crawley game having passed a concussion test the day before.
New loan signing Kyle Bennett could make his debut for Swindon after the match against Forest Green was postponed following his deadline-day move. Olly Lancashire remains injured for the Robins, although Wellens said the player is getting closer to a return.
