Milton Keynes Dons v Lincoln City

Paul Butler will be missing from the MK Dons line-up when fellow League Two promotion hopefuls Lincoln visit the National Hockey Stadium.

The former Leeds defender, who last week made his loan move from Elland Road permanent, is suspended after picking up a fifth booking of the season against Swindon.

Full-back Jamie Smith and striker John Hastings are still sidelined through injury, although both have been pencilled in for a midweek run-out with the reserves as they build up their fitness.

Smith has been out since November with a knee injury and Hastings has been struggling with a thigh problem.

Lincoln will be forced into at least one change after Shane Nicholson's loan spell came to an end.

Nicholson has returned to Chesterfield while fellow loanee Mat Birley, who was an unused sub against Macclesfield last week, has gone back to Birmingham.

On-loan Nottingham Forest striker Spencer Weir-Daley will hope for a full Imps debut after his cameo role from the bench at Moss Rose.

Defender Paul Mayo could be in line for a start after recovering from the groin injury which has restricted his appearances of late
