Brown missing for struggling Robins

Cheltenham will be without Troy Brown when they host AFC Wimbledon.

The centre-back will serve a one-match ban having picked up his fifth yellow card of the campaign in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Burton.

And his absence means boss Mark Yates will be forced into at least one change as he looks to pull his side out of their current slump which has seen them go five games without a win.

Raffaele De Vita made his Robins bow as a substitute last weekend and could be pushing for a start for the goal-shy home side who have scored once in five matches.

Defenders Andy Frampton and Jack Smith are back in contention for the Dons.

Centre-half Frampton has trained all week after missing last Saturday's 4-1 defeat at Newport with an ankle problem.

Full-back Smith is also fit after seven weeks on the sidelines with a knee injury, giving manager Neal Ardley a selection dilemma as both Callum Kennedy and 17-year-old Ben Harrison have deputised impressively at left-back in his absence.

Ade Azeez and Kevin Sainte-Luce are pushing for recalls should Ardley wish to make changes further forward.
