Defender Lubo Michalik will miss the weekend trip to face Swindon Town.

The Slovakian centre-back is facing a one-match suspension after being sent off for two bookable offences against Crewe last weekend.

Lubo was handed his second yellow card in the 90th minute for a foul just outside the area.

United manager Gary McAllister has shuffled his centre-backs this season and on Saturday there was no place for Rui Marques or Paul Huntington with Paul Telfer partnering Lubo at the heart of the defence.

"There was a tinge of disappointment for Lubo on Saturday because he performed well but now misses a match," said the boss. 

"But as the door closes for him another opens for someone else, and it's an opportunity for someone else to come in and show they want that slot."
