Defender Bateson was sent off during the Carling Cup defeat to Nottingham Forest and will serve the final match of his three-game suspension.[LNB]Fellow defender Matt Clarke was an unused substitute for the 2-0 midweek defeat to Lincoln following a thigh injury and may come into contention.[LNB]However, Luke O'Brien overcame a knee injury to play the full 90 minutes against the Imps and should be okay to retain his place at the back.[LNB]Midfielder Steve O'Leary missed out in midweek after his toe injury flared up before kick-off and is a doubt for the visit to Whaddon Road.[LNB][LNB]
