Forest Green are almost at full-strength for their promotion battle with MK Dons.

Defender Lee Collins is the only absentee as Rovers attempt to close the eight-point gap between themselves and the third-placed Dons in Sky Bet League Two.

George Williams and Junior Mondal are under consideration for starting spots after their second-half introduction last weekend was key to the 2-0 victory at Port Vale. Joseph Mills has recovered from a calf problem as Reece Brown seeks to continue his good form, the midfielder having either scored or assisted Rovers' last seven goals.

MK Dons have had a mounting injury list in recent weeks and boss Paul Tisdale could again be without several key players in Gloucestershire. The Dons have been hardest hit at the back and Jordan Moore-Taylor, George Williams and Baily Cargill look certain to miss out again.

Alex Gilbey faces a late fitness test after hobbling off in the 2-0 win over Yeovil and Conor McGrandles will deputise if the midfielder is ruled out. Callum Brittain has recovered from illness and Chuks Aneke could start after coming off the bench to score against the Glovers.
