JORDAN Graham is in line to make his first Oxford United start as injury looks likely to rule Danny Rose out of their clash with Swindon Town.

The midfielder was forced off with a hip injury in the 3-1 win at Accrington and is not expected to be available for the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy tie at the Kassam Stadium tonight.

Graham, who has come on as a substitute in the two games since joining on loan from Wolves, replaced Rose and performed well.

U’s boss Michael Appleton said: “In the two games he’s produced quality – hopefully that continues.”

United have a second enforced change as Danny Hylton serves a one-game suspension, with Ryan Taylor most likely to deputise.

Swindon have eight players unavailable.

Louis Thompson (Wales) and Yaser Kasim (Iraq) are on international duty, while the injury list includes striker Wes Thomas (hamstring).

Oxford Utd: from Slocombe, Baldock, Mullins, Wright, Skarz, O’Dowda, Sercombe, Lundstram, Graham, Roofe, Taylor, Hoban, MacDonald, George, Humphreys, Ruffels, Dunkley, Cundy, Buchel.

Swindon Tn: from Vigouroux, Barry, Branco, Turnbull, Brophy, Rodgers, Balmy, Bangoura, Obika, Ajose, Hylton, Ojamaa, Iandolo, Marshall, Smith, Traore, OrmondeOttewill, Belford.
