MK Dons reserves get their Pontins Holidays Combination campaign under way today with a trip to Southend.

As was the case last season, the Dons second string will be largely made up of scholars for Tuesday afternoon's game, though pros Sam Page, Sam Collins, John Hastings and Mustapha Carayol are also in the travelling party.

The game at Roots Hall kicks off at 2.00pm.

Squad to travel: Byrne (trialist), Carayol, Carbon (trialist), Collins, Delderfield, Fox, Hastings, Kelly, King, Koffi, Mitchell-Coop, Page, Thorne, Walker, Williams.
