Wade Small is out with a groin problem, while Town fans' favourite Dean Holdsworth is still on the way back from knee surgery.
Full-back Dean Lewington - son of Watford boss Ray - remains suspended and Alex Tapp, a scorer for the Dons at Portman Road last season, is out with a knee injury.
Jamie Mackie may get a recall after a knee problem, while midfielder Gary Smith, a recent loan signing from Middlesbrough, is likely to make his full debut.
