Rotherham United midfielder doubtful to face Wycombe Wanderers as Millers are left with just one fit striker
The 26-year-old, who has made 28 appearances for the Millers this campaign, was withdrawn during the first half of Rotherham's Papa John's Trophy semi-final against Hartlepool United.
Paul Warne's side booked their place at Wembley with a 5-4 penalty shootout win, with the United manager admitting it was a difficult decision to replace Lindsay with Mickel Miller after 34 minutes.

“It wasn’t an easy substitution to make, but it was the right thing to do. Whether he will be available to travel at the weekend is doubtful.”
Miller made his own comeback from an injury at Hartlepool while the game also saw the return of on-loan Huddersfield defender Rarmani Edmonds-Green.
“It was great to get minutes into both of them. Rarmani did well on the whole, but was a tad rusty with a few things, which is to be expected," added Warne.

Rotherham could have just one striker - top-scorer Michael Smith - available for the trip to Wycombe with Georgie Kelly sidelined as Joshua Kayode faces a race to be fit.
Will Grigg and Freddie Ladapo are both out for longer periods.
"Unfortunately for us, four of the five strikers we have are injured, but it is something we just have to get on with," added Warne.
“Georgie and Freddie are definitely out for the weekend, but JJ [Kayode could make it.”
