The duo sat out the 1-0 defeat at Fleetwood on Saturday, despite Harrison (dead leg) being initially included in manager Kenny Jackett’s starting XI.

However, the striker was forced to pull out of the team 15 minutes before kick-off, after suffering a reaction to the injury he picked up in the midweek win against Exeter.

Cannon has been out with a glute problem for the past five matches.

Jackett confirmed he’ll assess their fitness on Tuesday morning before deciding if they’ll feature against the MK Dons.

The manager said: ‘They both look okay. We’ll see tomorrow morning whether they make it or not.

‘We’ll make a final decision then.’
