Darren Moore gives fitness update on Doncaster Rovers pair Taylor Richards and Omar Bogle

Richards was subbed off after a heavy conclusion, shortly after putting Rovers 3-1 up in the game.

“He’s okay,” Moore said after the game.

“We’ll give it another 24 hours and we’ll see where he’s at.

“He seemed to be moving okay when he came off.

“It looked like a contact injury, more up in his hip.”

Moore hopes to see Richards in training on Monday alongside Omar Bogle, as Rovers prepare for their trip to Fleetwood Town on Tuesday.

Bogle is out of quarantine after testing positive for Covid-19 and will train with his new teammates for the first time on Monday.

But Moore says he will exercise caution over the striker and may opt to not risk him at Fleetwood.

“He’s back with us in training on Monday and we’ll have a look at him,” Moore said.

“We’ll see from a sports science and medical point of view how he is and whether we can include him on Tuesday.

“If he misses Tuesday, there is another game on the horizon.

“He’s been sat for a couple of weeks and probably a week before he made the move as well.

“He’s probably had two or three weeks where he’s not been able to do much so we’ve got to engage him and see where he’s at.

“We’ve not had chance to assess him ourselves and we’ll have a look at what stage he’s at.

“I’d imagine he’d be champing at the bit and I’ll have a conversation with him over the weekend.”
