Healey still needs time before he makes his Dons return

Like Sam Nombe, Healey has been missing for much of the season so far, after pulling out of Dons 3-0 win over Blackpool in September - Dons’ last win in League One.

Russell Martin said Healey, like Nombe, will be eased back into action and will be in contention soon.

“We’re having to take more time than we did with Sam because it’s a different injury, but once we get him back, he’ll be a big boost for us.”

Meanwhile, Jordan Moore-Taylor is having further scans on his knee after he limped out of the warm-up against Doncaster at the weekend.

Martin added: "He's having checks on his knee this week. He felt it in the warm-up. Since his operation, he hasn't felt it, so hopefully, it's just a little irritation rather than something major. Speaking to him, he thinks that's what it is. We'll make sure we investigate it properly."
