AFC Wimbledon v Barnet preview: Fitness test for Akinfenwa

AFC Wimbledon's Adebayo Akinfenwa will undergo a late fitness test as his team prepare to host Barnet in Sky Bet League Two on Saturday.

The powerful striker suffered a hamstring injury during Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Northampton, when Semi Ajaya made his debut for the club.

Ajaya had arrived on loan from Cardiff and his impressive performance means that the returning Karleigh Osborne is likely to be named on the bench, having been suspended while Ajaya played.

Tom Elliott's ongoing knee problem means he will again miss out.

Barnet manager Martin Allen is likely to field the same side who were beaten last time out by Plymouth.

Forward Kevin Lisbie, who has yet to play for the Bees, has returned to training and could be in line for a return to the squad.

Goalkeeper Graham Stack remains on the sidelines so Oxford loanee Max Crocombe will continue.
