Blackpool vs Doncaster Rovers - Blackpool wait on goalkeeper Kyle Letheren for Rovers clash

Posted Friday, November 13, 2015 by PA

Blackpool could hand a debut to goalkeeper Dean Lyness against Doncaster at Bloomfield Road.

First-choice keeper Colin Doyle (ankle) has been ruled out until the new year while back-up stopper Kyle Letheren is unlikely to feature this weekend having suffered a shoulder injury in Tuesday's Johnstone's Paint Trophy loss to Wigan.

Although Letheren avoided breaking his collarbone, manager Neil McDonald added Lyness to his options because he is reluctant to rely on teenager Myles Boney.

Martin Paterson (hamstring) will be back while Tom Aldred is free from suspension. McDonald is hopeful Emmerson Boyce (groin) can also return but Hayden White (hamstring) and Lloyd Jones (ankle) remain absent.

Craig Alcock is hoping to make his Doncaster debut.

The Sheffield United man, who can play in defence or midfield, joined Rovers on loan this week for an initial month.

Boss Darren Ferguson has revealed an illness has been going around the Rovers camp but it is uncertain whether anyone will miss out because of it.

Striker Keshi Anderson will hope to earn a start after recovering from a foot injury to take his place on the bench in last week's FA Cup win over Stalybridge.
