Port Vale could be boosted by the return of injured Remie Streete plus the availability of winger Olamide Shopido for the home game against AFC Wimbledon.
22-year-old Streete was forced off in the first half of last weekend’s draw with MK Dons due to a hamstring injury but has responded well to treatment.
New signing Andre Bikey, who replaced Streete, is again on hand to fill in but he still lacks match fitness after a long period without action.
On-loan winger Shodipo is back from international duty with the Ireland U21 side but the Valiants still have a lengthy injury list with Anthony De Freitas, Callum Guy, Jerome Thomas and Kjell Knops all out.
