Swindon Town must do without midfielders Massimo Luongo and Yaser Kasim as they look to move to the top of League One with a victory over Fleetwood Town at Highbury Stadium.

Luongo and Kasim are on international duty with Australia and Iraq respectively at the Asian Cup.

Captain Nathan Thompson is also out after failing to overcome a thigh knock, with keeper Wes Foderingham taking the armband.

However, Chelsea youngster John Swift is included from the start after completing a loan deal with the League One high-flyers.

Fleetwood's Stephen Crainey continues to fill in at full-back in the absence of Danny Andrew, who was ruled out for two months with a knee problem while Graham Alexander will be without strikers Jamille Matt and David Ball through injury.

Fellow frontman Tom Hitchcock has returned to parent club MK Dons following his loan stint in the North-West, with Antoni Sarcevic taking his place in the starting lineup.

There is also a place on the bench for new keeper Mason Springthorpe, who goes straight into the matchday squad after being unveiled by the Fylde club.

Fleetwood Town: Maxwell, McLaughlin, Roberts, Evans, Dobbie, Hughes J, Morris, Sarcevic, Proctor, Jordan, Crainey
Subs: Springthorpe, Schumacher, Blair, Forbes, Hughes M, Davies, Haughton

Swindon Town: Foderingham, Branco, Stephens, Turnbull, Byrne, Thompson L, Swift, Gladwin, Toffolo, Williams, Smith M
Subs: Belford, Barthram, Smith T, Marshall, Rodgers, Barker, Obika
