That means Rovers fans in the UK will not be able to stream games that take place between 2:45 and 5:15 on a Saturday afternoon.

Only fans overseas will be able to stream those games, provided that they have not been selected for international television broadcast in a territory that has an overseas broadcast partner.

However, the EFL have also confirmed that clubs will be able to offer a streaming service to UK supporters for any games that take place outside of that Saturday window.

Omar Bogle (hamstring) and Dan Gardner (thigh) are doubts after being forced off at Morecambe but Aidan Barlow, who went off feeling the effects of his recent brush with Covid, should be available.

Ro-Shaun Williams, who returned to the bench last weekend, could be pressed into action and Tommy Rowe could move into midfield if Gardner is not fit.

Charlie Seaman and AJ Greaves have stepped up their rehabs but Tom Anderson, Ben Close, Jon Taylor, John Bostock, Cameron John and Fejiri Okenabirhie remain sidelined.

Possible: Jones, Knoyle, Olowu, Williams, Horton, Smith, Galbraith, Rowe, Barlow, Hiwula, Dodoo.
