Alan Bennett looks likely to miss the visit of Scunthorpe this weekend after limping out of the defeat at Exeter City with a troublesome hamstring.
The injury coincides with Will Antwi’s ongoing recovery from a hernia operation.
There was a time when losing two centre-backs would cause Dons boss Neal Ardley consternation, but not anymore.
He said: “In the early days before the January transfer window, it was a struggle when players were out, but this season it is different.
“But that’s why we brought in Rhys Weston, a quality player who can provide cover right across the back four.”
