Ben Heneghan banned for Dons’ clash with Ipswich

12 April 2021

AFC Wimbledon will be without Ben Heneghan when they host Ipswich.

The defender was sent off late on during the impressive 5-1 win at Accrington and he is suspended on Tuesday night.

Shane McLoughlin made his return from a groin injury as a second-half substitute against Stanley, while Paul Kalambayi (ankle) should also be in the squad again after being an unused substitute for that game.

Shayon Harrison has resumed training after a serious ankle injury but is still a couple of weeks away from fitness – a similar situation to the one Darnell Johnson is facing.

Ipswich could be boosted by the return of striker James Norwood and defender Kane Vincent-Young.

Vincent-Young’s comeback from a long-term absence lasted just two matches before he was forced off at Wigan with a hamstring problem on March 27.

Top scorer Norwood has missed the last two games with the thigh injury he sustained in the 2-1 home win against Bristol Rovers on Good Friday.

Flynn Downes’ sooner-than-anticipated return from a hamstring injury was a major boost during the goalless draw with MK Dons on Saturday.
