Match Preview
Kouo-Doumbe missing for Dons Mathias Kouo-Doumbe will be absent for MK Dons when they kick off their League One campaign at home to Hartlepool. Doumbe has been ruled out for up to six weeks after suffering ankle ligament damage during pre-season. His absence has left manager Karl Robinson with a difficult decision of whether to put his faith in youth with Tom Flanagan or risk Shaun Williams in a weaker position as Gary MacKenzie's central defensive partner. New signings Ian McLoughlin, Dean Bowditch, Darren Potter, Shaun Williams and Jay O'Shea will all be looking to make their first-team debuts. Popular winger Angelo Balanta, on loan at stadium:mk last season, has returned from QPR for another stint with Robinson's side. Hartlepool will be without strike pair James Brown and Colin Larkin. Brown has been struggling with an ankle injury throughout pre-season and missed Ritchie Humphreys' testimonial against Sunderland on Tuesday. Larkin has been sidelined since twisting his ankle in the recent friendly defeat at York. Midfielder Paul Murray has also been used sparingly during pre-season due to a calf strain, but played the last 23 minutes for Pools against Sunderland and came through unscathed. Pools manager Mick Wadsworth has no other injury scares, with his starting line-up expected to be similar to the one that kicked off against the Black Cats. Summer signings Nolberto Solano, Colin Nish, James Poole, Nathan Luscombe and Jack Baldwin all featured at some stage against Sunderland and are in contention for their competitive debuts.M

Match Report
Ibehre late show earns draw for Dons Jabo Ibehre`s last-gasp strike rescued a 2-2 draw for MK Dons in an entertaining opening-day clash with Hartlepool. James Poole looked to have secured three points for the visitors with five minutes remaining after Luke Chadwick had cancelled out Adam Boyd's opener, but there was to be another twist in the tale. The Dons started brightly, with Daniel Powell hitting the crossbar via a deflection off Evan Horwood. But Hartlepool weathered the early storm to take the lead in the 20th minute. Andy Monkhouse slipped the ball between two defenders to set Horwood clear and the full-back picked out Boyd to head home. Colin Nish should have done better with a close-range header while Scott Flinders did well to keep out a Chadwick drive. MK Dons grabbed an equaliser in the 53rd minute when the Hartlepool defence stood off Chadwick and he drilled home in style. Angelo Balanta clipped the crossbar with a shot from distance and substitute Dean Bowditch curled an effort wide as the home side looked good for a second. But it was the visitors who went ahead again late on, Poole picking up the ball 35 yards from goal and bundling his way past two defenders before slotting home. There was still time for an equaliser, though, as Ibehre diverted a shot into the bottom corner.
