Whiteman requires Rovers assessment

Doncaster will check on midfielder Ben Whiteman ahead of the visit of Accrington.

Whiteman returned to action after a month out with an ankle problem for Good Friday’s defeat at Sunderland, where he came off at half-time.

Forward John Marquis, given the all clear following concussion, is expected to retain his place in the starting XI, while defender Tom Anderson, fit again following a calf problem, was an unused substitute at the Stadium of Light.

Defender Joe Wright (ankle) is stepping up his recovery and goalkeeper Ian Lawlor (shoulder) also continues in rehabilitation.

Accrington will be without goalkeeper Dimitar Evtimov through suspension.

The Bulgarian was sent off for a second caution during Saturday’s 3-0 home defeat to leaders Luton, so Jonathan Maxted is expected to deputise.

Midfielder Scott Brown could start again having come into the side against Luton, and then being substituted following Evtimov’s dismissal.

Sam Finley is set to miss the rest of the season after the midfielder suffered a knee injury.
