BIG GUNS BACK FOR HAMMERS VISIT

Posted on: Fri 30 Jul 2010

MK Dons v West Ham United

Dons manager Karl Robinson has named a 23-man squad for Wednesday night's pre-season friendly against West Ham United at stadiummk.

Having rested a number of his established first team players for Friday night's trip to Aylesbury, Robinson will have every fit professional at his disposal against the Hammers, who are also expected to field a strong side.

Goalkeeper David Martin will sit out the game after picking up a minor ankle knock in training, meaning Willy Gueret and Stuart Searle will vie for a starting berth in goal, while full-back Danny Woodards returns to the squad for potentially his first involvement since the win at Oxford City.

Midfielder Dietmar Hamann is expected to see some match time in midfield, while Luke Chadwick, Angelo Balanta, Peter Leven and Jermaine Easter are among those re-introduced.

In defence, Robinson will still be without recovering duo Jude Stirling and Gary Mackenzie, but has full-back Danny Woodards available for potentially his first action of pre-season. Robinson will also continue to run the rule over Cape Verdean centre-back Pelé, formerly of Southampton and West Brom, who has been on trial with the Club in recent weeks.

Irons boss Avram Grant could hand match time to new signings Frederic Piquionne, Pablo Barrera and Thomas Hitzlsperger at stadiummk, while the Hammers' World Cup participants are also expected to integrate back into the squad this week.

West Ham new boy Thomas Hitzlsperger could feature.

 

England duo Robert Green and Matthew Upson have yet to be involved under Grant this summer, while American defender Jonathan Spector and Swiss midfielder Valon Behrami are also back in contention following the extended break offered to those players on international duty in South Africa.

Tickets for Wednesday night's game are priced £10 for Adults, £6 for Concessions and £1 for Under-16s in all areas except clubRed and are available both from the MK Dons Online Ticket Service and from stadiummk on the night.

Dons Squad:

Goalkeepers; Willy Gueret, Stuart Searle.
