Milton Keynes Dons vs Swindon preview - Same again for Dons

Posted Friday, October 31, 2014 by PA

MK Dons should have an unchanged squad for the visit of Swindon.

Milton Keynes manager Karl Robinson reported no new problems following the Capital One Cup defeat to Sheffield United in midweek.

Danny Green (hamstring) returned to full training for the first time on Thursday but the midfielder is not yet ready to start a match. It remains to be seen whether Robinson will find a place for him on the bench.

Lee Hodson (ankle) is still out injured, as is George Baldock, who scored a screamer at the County Ground to win the game for the Dons the last time the two teams met.

Swindon will assess the fitness of defender Raphael Branco ahead of the trip.

The 24-year-old Brazilian suffered a groin tear in September against Sheffield United and has been training with the Robins' physio this week in a bid to be passed fit and, with Nathan Thompson one booking away from a ban, boss Mark Cooper wants Branco available soon.

And Cooper could name the same starting line-up that cruised past Chesterfield in midweek but Andy Williams staked his claim for a start having stepped off the bench to score.

The likes of Jake Reeves and Ben Gladwin are also options should the Robins boss freshen things up.
