Widdowson available again for Dale

Joe Widdowson may return to the Rochdale line-up for the crucial clash with fellow strugglers Wycombe.

Left-back Widdowson served a one-match ban when Dale travelled to Tranmere in midweek following his red card in the 5-1 home defeat to Stevenage.

However, he may face a battle to return to caretaker manager Chris Beech's starting line-up after a reshuffled backline held Rovers to a goalless draw, with Stephen Jordan reverting to left-back and Kevin Amankwaah impressing on his full debut at the heart of defence.

Goalkeeper Peter Kurucz is fit to continue between the posts despite a dead-leg hindering his kicking in the closing stages at Prenton Park.

Midfielder Simon Hackney (abdominal) and defender Marc Twaddle (defender) remain long-term absentees.
