Neal Ardley

AFC Wimbledon boss Neal Ardley has no fresh injury or suspension concerns ahead of their meeting with Carlisle in Sky Bet League 2 on Tuesday.

Karleigh Osborne has been ruled out for the rest of the season after injuring his knee in training last week.

The defender was absent from the side that beat Barnet and it has now been confirmed that he has suffered ligament damage and his knee is in a brace.

Connor Smith is looking for his first start since coming back from concussion after he was an unused substitute at the weekend.

Carlisle boss Keith Curle is expected to select from an unchanged squad following Saturday's home win against Stevenage.

Curle has no new injury or suspension concerns but could be tempted to make one or two changes with on-loan Newcastle pair Alex Gilliead and Macaulay Gillesphey pushing for recalls to the starting line-up.

Striker Jabo Ibehre started at the weekend after his dismissal last week against Accrington was overturned and he is expected to resume alongside Charlie Wyke up front.
