Burton Albion FC vs Rochdale - Burton have several injury doubts ahead of Rochdale opener

Burton have a host of injury doubts for their Sky Bet League One opener at home to Rochdale on Saturday.

The Brewers were relegated from the Championship last season but their start to life back in the third-tier could be hampered with as many as seven players potentially missing.

John Brayford and Reece Hutchinson are struggling with hamstring problems, as is new signing David Templeton.

Fellow new recruit Scott Fraser (calf), as well as Ben Fox (leg), Will Miller (knee) and Marvin Sordell (calf) could all be forced to sit out the clash at the Pirelli Stadium.

Keith Hill guided Rochdale to safety on the back of a fine run of form at the end of last season.

In an attempt to avoid a similar battle against the drop, Hill has recruited six fresh faces ahead of the new campaign.

Some of the summer arrivals will be pushing to be involved in Staffordshire, with the likes of Aaron Wilbraham, Jordan Williams and Brad Inman potentially making their respective debuts.

Winger Stephen Dooley was signed from Coleraine, while James Finnerty and David Perkins also came in at Spotland.
