Rochdale hope Ollie Lancashire and Peter Vincenti can return

Rochdale will hope Ollie Lancashire and Peter Vincenti can return for Keith Hill's men at Fleetwood in Sky Bet League One.

The pair missed out against Bradford on Saturday with illness so Hill must wait to see if the pair can pull through for the fixture just three days on.

Niall Canavan played 90 minutes on his debut in Saturday's 2-2 draw with the Bantams and will likely retain his spot while Grant Holt has reported no ill effects from his 20-minute cameo after re-signing for Dale.

Holt's arrival followed a foot injury to Calvin Andrew which will keep him sidelined still, while Donal McDermott (stomach) and Scott Tanser (leg) remain concerns.

Fleetwood will be without Northern Ireland international Conor McLaughlin at Spotland.

The full-back sustained a knee injury in the win over Scunthorpe last weekend but will only miss seven to 10 days of action after receiving good news amid fears he could be out for longer.

Joe Davis will also be in the travelling squad having missed three weeks of action with a knock but Alex Kiwomya has returned to Chelsea at the end of his loan spell and Amari'i Bell (ankle) is also a doubt.

Captain Nathan Pond (thigh) remains sidelined but is on track to return ahead of schedule.
