Keeper could return against Salford after recovering from head injury

The goalkeeper looks set to return to action for MK Dons

Craig MacGillivray could be back between the posts for MK Dons on Saturday when the side takes on Salford City at Stadium MK.

The 32-year-old has missed the last three games following a nasty head injury picked up in the first-half against Bromley last month. Stretchered off the field and spending a night in hospital, the Scot has been on concussion protocol since, but could feature for Paul Warne’s side at Stadium MK on Saturday.

Back-up keeper Connal Trueman, who has filled in in his absence in the last three-and-three-quarter games, has conceded ten times in league and cup competitions since MacGillivray’s injury, but with the custodian back fit again, he could go straight back into the side.

“He’s good, he has trained all week,” Warne confirmed. “he first three shots at him went in, he said ‘wow, they’re quick!’ He’s just getting his feet back really.

“He has had a good week of training with no issues, no-one has clattered into him and he doesn’t look any less brave. He still looks a good kamikaze goalkeeper.

“That’s why he’s got the best stats in the country for coming for crosses. I like my goalkeepers to do that, and to be aggressive, and he has literally taken me to the letter on that.”
