Keltie available after ban
Midfielder Clark Keltie is available for selection again after serving a two match suspension for ten bookings, and will come into contention for the home game with Port Vale on Saturday.
Keltie's ban has kept him out of the games with Exeter and Bournemouth, which saw Dale pick up a return of just one point in the process.
But having served that ban, he'll be looking a recall to the first team squad as Dale look to get back on to winning ways against Port Vale at the weekend.
Dale have relied on Mark Jones and Ciaron Toner in the past couple of games with record appearances maker Gary Jones out on the sidelines with a hamstring injury and Keltie out suspended.
