Sterry had hoped his injury problems were behind him, having struggled for fitness at former club Hartlepool last term.

He sat out of Doncaster's pre-season friendlies against Sheffield Wednesday and Port Vale due to a back complaint.

Kyle Hurst was also missing from the Doncaster side that were beaten 4-0 at Newport today.

Hurst has yet to be involved for Rovers this season due to a thigh injury.

McCann did not give a timescale for his return but said: "He's getting closer."

Ben Close, Jon Taylor and Zain Westbrooke were also left out of Doncaster's matchday squad in South Wales, with only the latter travelling for the clash.
