Team Lineups
Team news for Saturday's League Two clash between Port Vale and AFC Wimbledon at Vale Park.
Port Vale boss Micky Adams has a host of absentees for the match.
Striker Tom Pope and defender Lee Collins suffered groin and ankle complaints respectively during last week's 3-0 defeat at Southend and the pair join goalkeeper Stuart Tomlinson (thigh) and winger Rob Taylor (calf) on the sidelines.
Clayton McDonald is suspended after being sent off for two bookable offences at Roots Hall while Gareth Owen is likely to miss out with a foot injury, which Adams wants to heal completely before letting the defender return.
Top scorer Marc Richards is struggling with an ankle problem and long-term absentees Lewis Haldane (broken leg) and Ryan Burge (knee) are continuing their rehabilitation.
However, Adams should be boosted by the return of full-back Phil Roe from a dead leg and striker Ben Williamson has trained this week despite his knee injury flaring up.
Meanwhile, AFC Wimbledon will field a new-look strikeforce of Jason Euell and Byron Harrison.
Veteran frontman Euell has joined on loan from Charlton and will make his second 'debut' for the Dons, having scored 47 goals in 181 games for the old Wimbledon.
He will be joined in attack by Harrison, who arrived on Wednesday for a five-figure fee from Stevenage.
There could also be debuts for young midfielders George Moncur, signed on loan from West Ham, and Billy Knott of Sunderland as boss Terry Brown revamps his squad in a bid to halt their alarming slide down the table.
Striker Christian Jolley is still suspended but winger Luke Moore could returns after suffering concussion.
