Rochdale manager Keith Hill admitted he's a little concerned over striker Glenn Murray's turned ankle after severe swelling kept the front man out of training.

Murray picked up the injury during Dale's trip to Spain and it was something that didn't initially look that bad. The problem will keep the striker out of action for the next week or so but the Dale boss won't be rushing him back.

Hill said: "It takes as long as it takes. Glenn's injury is causing us a little concern at the moment after what looked like a nothing rotation of the ankle. It has swollen up quite a lot, I suppose only time will tell.

"Without Glenn we have a small forward line though it isn't a problem for me. I'm just thinking of his defensive duties on freekicks and set plays and without him in there it does concern me.

"With respect to playing Adam Le Fondre and Chris Dagnall or mixing it up with Kallum Higginbotham, I have no fear. Size doesn't matter because of the way we move the ball."
