AFC Wimbledon lose Semi Ajayi but welcome back Bayo Akinfenwa against Hartlepool

AFC Wimbledon will be without Semi Ajayi for the visit of Hartlepool, with the defender returning to parent club Cardiff following a loan spell.

Bayo Akinfenwa is back in the squad after a thigh problem caused him to miss last weekend's win at York.

Winger Sean Rigg is touch-and-go with a dead leg, but James Shea (groin) and Andy Barcham are not yet available.

Manager Neil Ardley told Dons Player: "It is likely to be another two weeks before James can return to training and probably a month for Andy Barcham. We have to put them on the back-burner for now."

Hartlepool will be without central defender Scott Harrison after he was sent off in last weekend's 2-1 home defeat to Crawley.

Harrison was deemed to have handled on the goal-line and was shown a straight red card, with Pools deciding against an appeal.

Carl Magnay serves the fifth game of his six-match ban for spitting, while fellow defender Harry Worley remains sidelined with an ankle injury.

Dan Jones was forced off against the Reds with a head injury but is likely to be available and could move into the centre to replace Harrison.
