Duo miss Livi clash
Queen of the South entertain Livingston looking for the win that will all but seal their play-off place without Stephen McKenna and Gavin Reilly.
McKenna has a hip injury and Reilly a back problem, but Bob McHugh is fit again and added to the squad.
Manager Jim McIntyre said: "Livingston will be looking to bounce back from losing 4-0 last week so that makes this game difficult for us. The games between us this season have been really tight but hopefully we can get the result that takes us over the play-off line.
"Dumbarton have a tough game but we have to look after ourselves."
Simon Mensing heads a list of Livingston players ruled out with a knee injury keeping the Lions captain absent.
Mike Mumpuya (knee), Ross Docherty (groin) and Andrew Barrowman (hamstring) are also missing with Nejc Mevlja considered a doubt due to a knock.
Manager John McGlynn said: "We had a very disappointing day at Cowdenbeath where there was little between the teams but we lost bad goals at bad times. We want to hit back and get back to playing in the very organised way we did against Hamilton the week before.
"My view is that if we cannot finish fourth we should be looking to finish fifth."
