Matty Lund is expected to miss this weekend's game with Oxford United after being called up for the Northern Ireland squad for their game with the Czech Republic.

Lund has previously played six times for the NI U21 side but has yet to make an appearance for the full side who were one of the surprise packages at this Summer's Euro 2016 in France. His call up comes after an injury to Watford defender Craig Cathcart.

The call up comes at a difficult time for Dale boss Keith Hill who will also be without Callum Camps who will miss the Oxford trip through suspension following his red card last Saturday.
