Raphael Branco back in contention for Swindon

Brazilian defender Raphael Branco returns from suspension for Swindon's Sky Bet League One clash with Southend.

The loan spells of Ben Gladwin, Adam El-Abd, Wes Thomas and Louis Thompson have ended so they have all returned to their parent clubs.

Estonia international Henrik Ojamaa has also departed after his contract was terminated by mutual consent.

It will be Luke Williams' first match as caretaker boss after Martin Ling stepped down for health reasons.

New signing Tyrone Barnett will be hoping to make his debut for Southend.

The striker moved to Roots Hall this week from Shrewsbury on a loan deal that will run for the remainder of the season.

Manager Phil Brown has confirmed midfielder Will Atkinson is a slight doubt with an abdominal strain which forced him off against Doncaster last weekend.

Brown could also make changes after seeing his side concede seven goals in back-to-back home defeats either side of New Year's Day.
