Doncaster Rovers boss hopeful of Fejiri Okenabirhie injury

The striker has been out of action for a week after suffering an ankle injury and was not risked for Saturday’s dramatic draw with Hull City.

Moore says Okenabirhie will be assessed after training on Monday but feels he is on track to make his return this midweek.

“We’ll check on Fej and we’ll step on him again today,” Moore said.

“Saturday came a bit to early for him. There are times when you’re tempted to put them in but I thought it’s probably a game too early.

“If we can get him back he’ll be a welcome addition.”

As for the rest of his squad, Moore expects a clean bill of health heading to Blackpool.

He said: “We’ll check on them when we all reconvene on Monday morning but I’ve not heard anything that I need to have any concerns about.”
