Team News: Steven Schumacher back for Fleetwood Town

Fleetwood Town midfielder Steven Schumacher has returned to the Cod Army squad for this afternoon's League Two clash against table-topping Rochdale after missing Tuesday's win over Bristol Rovers with a bruised foot.

New loan signing Adam Barton, who joined the Lancashire club from Coventry City on Thursday, isn't in the matchday squad, but will be watching his new teammates from the Highbury stands.

Meanwhile, Josh Morris is involved in the starting XI after extending his stay from Blackburn Rovers, but Mikael Mandron has returned to Sunderland.

Rochdale, who are in search of a fifth straight win, have left on-loan Sheffield United defender Sean McGinty out of the squad.

Meanwhile, top goalscorer Scott Hogan remains out with a knee injury.
