Boss Paul Warne has said there is “a couple (of issues) that I don’t want to discuss” on the team news front, but added that “there’s nothing too major” and the Millers will have a “good quota of players” for the match.

Warne’s men have lost only one of their seven Championship games so far this term, claiming 10 points.

Blackpool, who are one point better off, can call on Sonny Carey again with the midfielder having completed a three-match suspension.

Gary Madine remains unavailable as he serves the second match of his own three-game ban.
