Preview: Cowdenbeath v Dumbarton

The Blue Brazil welcomes Dumbarton Football Club this Saturday to Central Park for another Irn-Bru Second Division promotion clash.

COWDENBEATH TEAM NEWS

Colin Cameron should have several players back for selection for the game. Greg Stewart, who missed the Stenhousemuir game with a back injury, returned to training this week while Dean Brett is also back in full training and played 45 minutes in a bounce game earlier this week. Joe Mbu is also expected to be available after only making the bench last week due to a thigh strain but David Cowan is still out with a hamstring injury.
