Gary Teale is back in full training after a month out with a calf problem and could feature on the bench, but Kris Commons (hamstring), Lee Hendrie (calf) and Miles Addison (foot) remain out of action.

The Manager

Renowned for producing sides who play the game in the right manner, Sean O'Driscoll was appointed the Manager of Doncaster Rovers in 2006. The Irishman, who had playing spells with Fulham and Bournemouth before taking over as Manager at Dean Court in 2000. He guided the Cherries to promotion to League One in 2003. His success under tight constraints prompted Doncaster to secure his services to replace Dave Penney and he duly delivered with promotion to the Championship in 2007/08, taking many plaudits along the way for the way his side played their way to promotion.

Danger Man

Billy Sharp has proved to be a shrewd loan signing by Sean O'Driscoll with fourteen goals in his twenty-nine matches since his temporary switch from Sheffield United in August. The prolific striker caught the headlines with Scunthorpe United in 2005 and his form prompted the Blades to re-sign him for £2 Million just 2 years after leaving United. However, he has struggled to make an impact at Bramall Lane and was loaned out to Doncaster in August. His defence splitting pace and ability to find the back of the net has quickly seen him become a favourite at the Keepmoat Stadium.

The Man In The Middle

Mr S Hooper is the match official in charge of Saturday's game. He has shown 85 yellow cards and 8 reds from a total of 26 games this season. He has in charge of Derby's 6-1 defeat at Cardiff City in September.
