MK Dons could hand a debut to winger Aaron Doran when Southend visit stadium:mk for Tuesday's Johnstone's Paint Trophy tie (kick-off 7pm).
Doran has arrived for a month on loan from Blackburn and is expected to be in Paul Ince's matchday squad.
Forward Sam Baldock is also being considered for a first appearance since the end of August. The 20-year-old has been away with the England Under-20 squad in Egypt but lands back in the country on Monday and is in Ince's plans.
Midfielder Jason Puncheon completes his three-game ban while Luke Chadwick is out with the thigh injury he sustained at Oldham last Tuesday night.
Stephen Gleeson is absent as he is away with the Republic of Ireland Under-21 squad and defenders Danny Woodards (ankle), Jude Stirling (groin) and Sean O'Hanlon (knee) remain sidelined.
Ince will utilise his squad and the likes of Stuart Searle, Mark Carrington, Jabo Ibehre, Sol Davis and Dean Morgan could all get rare starts.
