DRFC Doncaster v Coventry Team News

Doncaster Rovers boss Sean O`Driscoll could make changes for the visit of Coventry City to the Keepmoat on Tuesday night.

On loan goalkeeper Ben Alnwick could be pushing for a start in place of Gary Woods who let in five on Saturday.

James Coppinger and James Hayter both came off the bench in Saturday`s heavy defeat at Leeds and will be pushing for a start.

Also hoping for a return to the starting line up will be Simon Gillett who came off the bench at Derby last week after a long-term injury

Defender Shelton Martis is also back in the squad along with Ryan Mason and Ryan Burge who have all recently recovered from injury.

Billy Sharp looks likely to continue to lead in attack again despite needing a hernia operation.

Still out are James O`Connor, Adam Lockwood, Jason Euell, Neil Sullivan, James Chamber, Martin Woods, Steve Brooker and Mustapha Dumbuya all through injury.

Coventry will be without their influential goalkeeper Kieren Westwood after he suffered a hamstring injury that forced him out of Saturdays 4-1 home defeat to Bristol City at half time.

His replacement at on Saturday Danny Ireland, is also struggling after also picking up a hamstring injury.

Experienced striker Marlon King is definitely out as he serves the first game of a four-match ban for his sending off at the weekend.

The sky blues do welcome back Martin Crainie who served a suspension on Saturday.

City trio Lee Carsley, Ben Turner and Clive Platt all missed the game at the weekend through injury.
