Brandy set for Dale debut
Rochdale's new signing Febian Brandy is expected to be included in their squad for the home game against Crawley.
Winger Brandy has signed until the end of the season following his recent release from Rotherham and could make his debut for the club.
Reuben Noble-Lazarus is hoping to return to the squad after signing a permanent deal with Dale following his loan spell from Barnsley, but midfielder Tomasz Cywka has returned to parent club Blackpool.
Midfielder Matty Lund (dislocated shoulder) remains a long-term absentee, but boss Keith Hill has no new injury or suspension problems.
Midfielder Anthony Wordsworth is set to make his Crawley debut after joining on loan from Ipswich.
Town are trying to bring in goalkeeping cover after Brian Jensen dislocated his thumb against MK Dons last weekend, although the veteran hopes to be back in training before the weekend.
Crawley did not have a back-up keeper so striker Matt Harrold had to take over in goal and was named man of the match in the 2-2 draw.
Conor Henderson (ankle), Ryan Dickson (hernia) and Dean Leacock (groin) are doubts and Josh Simpson (hamstring) remains on the sidelines.
