Dale will be hit by suspensions for Tuesday's visit of Port Vale, with both Joe Rafferty and Donal McDermott missing from the starting line up.

The double sending off from Saturday will hit us hard on Tuesday evening, with both Joe Rafferty and Donal McDermott suspended.

Rafferty was dismissed for two yellow cards and has been handed a one match ban for doing so, whilst McDermott was sent off for a challenge deemed as being violent conduct and it is expected that he will be given a three match ban for doing so.

With the absence of Rafferthy, it is expected that Keith Hill will look to either Andy Cannon or Harrison McGahey to fill in.

The game against Port Vale has been designated as a special admission game with all entry to any part of the ground being just £1.
