Rotherham vs Wolves - Six targeting debuts on Alan Stubbs' Rotherham bow
Posted Friday, August 05, 2016 by PA
Alan Stubbs takes charge of Rotherham for the first time against Wolves and he has six of his seven summer signings vying for debuts.
The Liverpudlian swapped Hibs for the New York Stadium in June and has brought in Anthony Forde, Lewis Price, Will Vaulks, Jake Forster-Caskey, Jon Taylor, Kelvin Wilson and Scott Allan.
Only Kelvin Wilson is unavailable as he is not match fit, but the other six are targeting bows.
Joe Newell (calf) and Aimen Belaid (leg) are still carrying their injuries while Jonson Clarke-Harris could miss the entire season with a knee problem which has required surgery.
Wolves are expected to hand debuts to several players as new manager Walter Zenga also prepares for his first match in charge.
Helder Costa and Silvio may feature while Benfica loanee Joao Teixeira and Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, who has signed from Kaiserslautern, joined this week and could be in the squad.
Nouha Dicko will miss the first few weeks of the season after having minor surgery to remove a staple from his knee as he continues his recovery from a cruciate knee ligament injury.
Mike Williamson (hamstring), Michal Zyro and Jordan Graham (both knee) are all long-term injury victims and will not feature in Zenga's first squad.
