Bristol Rovers to check on fitness of Ryan Sweeney before Rotherham clash



Posted Friday, December 01, 2017 by PA

Bristol Rovers will check on defender Ryan Sweeney before the visit of Rotherham.

Sweeney was forced off during the first half of last weekend's 2-1 defeat at Blackburn with a tight calf.

Tom Broadbent is set to win a recall if Sweeney is absent although Joe Partington, used in a defensive midfield role at Ewood Park, could also slot into the back-line.

Top scorer Billy Bodin will make his first start at home since the end of September after getting game-time at Blackburn following hamstring trouble.

Rotherham boss Paul Warne will pick from the same squad as his side look to arrest a six-game winless run.

The Millers have not tasted victory since October 14 as they have drifted down the table and Warne is considering his options.

Ben Purrington (hamstring) and Jon Taylor (knee) have both been injured for the last few weeks and they will return to full training on Monday.

Ryan Williams is pushing for a recall after being dropped in last week's defeat to Wigan while Joe Newell might also fancy his chances of earning a start.
