Gary Bradshaw and Lee Philpott were shock recalls to the side for Russell's first game in charge at Swansea. They are expected to have done enough to keep their places ahead of Lawrie Dudfield and David Beresford, who were named on the subs' bench on Friday.
David Norris was introduced today after arriving on loan from Bolton. He is an attacking midfielder and may be named in the squad tomorrow, possibly replacing Richard Sneekes in the starting line-up.
Jason Van Blerk is still suspended so Matt Wicks will stay at left-back alongside Mark Greaves, Justin Whittle and Mike Edwards in defence.
Ryan Williams faces his former team before beginning his suspension. 'Rhino' came through the youth system at Field Mill, making 29 appearances in all competitions before being sold to Tranmere for £70,000.
Expected line-up (4-4-2): Musselwhite; Edwards, Whittle, Greaves, Wicks; Williams, Johnsson, Sneekes, Philpott; Alexander, Bradshaw.
Subs from: Glennon, Mohan, Goodison, Petty, Holt, Morley, Matthews, Beresford, Norris, Whitmore, Dudfield, Rowe.
