Rochdale are still without midfielders Ollie Rathbone and Peter Vincenti (ankle), and striker Reuben Noble-Lazarus (ankle) for the visit of AFC Wimbledon in Sky Bet League One.

The trio are all making good progress but manager Keith Hill is still unsure when any of them will be back in action.

Striker Steven Davies, signed earlier this month, looks set for another appearance off the bench as he continues to build up his match fitness.

Hill's men go into the game still looking for their first win.

AFC Wimbledon boss Neal Ardley will consider whether to make changes after his side collected their first points since promotion with a draw at Northampton last weekend.

Winger George Francomb is available after a long lay-off following knee surgery while Jon Meades (ankle) could strengthen the defence.

Boss Neal Ardley has welcomed the extra recover time after his team were not involved in the EFL Cup in midweek as he prepares for the trip to Spotland.
