Confirmed: Doncaster Rovers' game at Salford City called off after England squad decision
Doncaster Rovers' proposed trip to Salford City later this month will now have to find a new date after being postponed due to international call-ups.
The match at the Peninsula Stadium was scheduled for Saturday, March 22. But as per EFL rules, teams can request that a fixture is postponed if they have three or more players unavailable due to international call-ups.
And after Chelsea loanee Ted Sharman-Lowe was named in the England under-21s squad it takes the number of players that Rovers have unavailable to the threshold of three. Patrick Kelly and Charlie Crew have also been selected by Northern Ireland under-21s and Wales under-19s respectively.
Sharman-Lowe is included in Lee Carsley's squad for upcoming games away at France and then Portugal at the Hawthorns.
A new date has yet to be confirmed for the game against the Ammies but a quick glance at the calendar suggest only three spots where it could be pencilled in for: Tuesday, April 8, April 15 or April 29.
Rovers head to Crewe on Saturday (12.30pm) looking to increase their lead over the chasing pack before the 3pm kick-offs.
