Joe Mattock in line for Rotherham return
Posted Friday, February 23, 2018 by PA
Rotherham defender Joe Mattock could return to contention for the home game against local rivals Doncaster.
Mattock, who missed last week’s win at Shrewsbury due to a hamstring strain, has returned to training, while boss Paul Warne will also check on several other players who are nursing slight knocks.
Midfielders Richie Towell and Anthony Forde, plus defender Will Vaulks reported bumps and bruises earlier in the week, but Warne is hoping all three will be fit.
Striker Jamie Proctor (knee) and midfielder Darren Potter (Achilles) remain long-term absentees as the in-form Millers chase a seventh straight league win.
Doncaster defender Joe Wright is unlikely to be risked by boss Darren Ferguson despite closing in on his return.
Centre-half Wright has been sidelined by a rib injury sustained in last month’s home defeat to Bristol Rovers.
Striker Alex Kiwoma made his first start since recovering from long-term illness in last week’s home win against Fleetwood and is hoping to complete his first full 90 minutes of the season.
Midfielder Luke McCullough sustained a knock against Fleetwood but is expected to be fit and Mathieu Baudry is hoping to feature after overcoming a hamstring injury. Andy Butler (knee) is still out.
