On-loan defender Jason Shackell has also returned to light training, but Martin Woods is definitely out.

Brian Stock is in contention after playing an hour of a practice game with Birmingham City.

Scunthorpe could remain unchanged from the side which drew 2-2 with Reading in midweek. Michael Raynes and Jim McNulty (both ankle) and Rob Jones (calf) are ruled out.

Former Doncaster winger Jonathan Forte, who scored for the club in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy final back in 2007, will be keen to impress, while Sam Togwell, Michael O'Connor and Josh Wright are all pushing for recalls to Nigel Adkins's first team.
