Ben Reeves is getting closer to a return to action, according to boss Karl Robinson.
Reeves has returned to training this week after recovering from a calf strain he suffered in the fixture at QPR at the end of October.
“He has trained this week and having him back will be a big plus but I’m not sure if he will make the game on Saturday,” said Robinson.
“With him having had a long injury, we will look to get him back in the squad as soon as we possibly can because he’s a big player for us.”
Joe Walsh and Simon Church (both knee) are also making progress, as is Matt Upson (calf), while Dale Jennings is expected to be returning to training next week.
