Dons duo in contention for Rovers visit
Posted Thursday, March 07, 2019 by PA
Kwesi Appiah and Dylan Connolly could come into contention for AFC Wimbledon when they host Doncaster on Saturday.
Striker Appiah has missed the last five games with a hamstring problem, while midfielder Connolly has sat out three games with bruising to his foot but both have been back in training this week.
Defender Rod McDonald is likely to miss out again, though, after suffering a minor groin injury in the build-up to last Saturday’s draw with Shrewsbury.
Striker James Hanson, who has made substitute appearances in the last two games after missing two months with a groin problem, is pushing for a return to the starting line-up.
Doncaster boss Grant McCann must decide whether to field midfielder Herbie Kane.
McCann admitted they will have to nurse the Liverpool loanee through the rest of the season because of an ongoing groin issue and, with three games in seven days, Kane may have to sit out at least one.
Defender Tom Anderson will continue to be assessed after being diagnosed with a concussion and is likely to miss out again.
Captain Tommy Rowe, who was only among the substitutes as Rovers made it four games without a win in last weekend’s draw with Charlton, will hope for a recall.
