McAleny ruled out for Fleetwood

Fleetwood could be without Conor McAleny for Saturday’s Sky Bet League One clash with Rochdale.

McAleny has an ankle problem and will be assessed ahead of the contest at Highbury Stadium.

Fellow forward Chris Long is in contention to be involved after he made his first appearance since returning to the club over the summer in Tuesday’s Carabao Cup match against Crewe.

Boss Joey Barton made eight changes for the cup tie, which saw the Cod Army win on penalties after a 1-1 draw, and the likes of Ched Evans and Dean Marney are set to return to the first XI after sitting out that game. Midfielder James Wallace (knee) remains sidelined.

Oliver Rathbone will hope to keep his place in the Rochdale side having scored both goals in the 2-0 cup win at Grimsby.

After Keith Hill made five adjustments to his starting line-up for the match, Brad Inman, scorer of a brace in Dale’s season-opening victory at Burton, is among the players expected to come back into the team.

Magnus Norman could be involved for the first time following his arrival at the club this week.

The Fulham goalkeeper joined Rochdale on loan until January this week.
