Rock bottom Rovers could move to within three points of the Shrews, who sit just outside of the drop zone in 19th, with victory this weekend.

But defeat would leave them nine points adrift of Steve Cotterill’s men and staring down down the barrel as we head towards the festive fixtures.

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.

That means that all midweek games not selected for TV can be streamed, as well as matches moved from their Saturday slot for non-TV purposes.

Is there any team news ahead of Doncaster Rovers v Shrewsbury Town?

Jospeh Olowu returns from suspension and will almost certainly replace Ben Blythe in the starting line-up.

Joe Dodoo and Jordy Hiwula could also return to the starting XI as interim boss Gary McSheffrey weighs up whether to start with a back three again or switch to a flat back four like he did during the Oxford game.

McSheffrey is due to speak to the media at 1.30pm today.

He’s unlikely to have any more bodies available with Ben Close (knee/hamstring) and Rodrigo Vilca (hamstring) still struggling.

Jon Taylor, Ro-Shaun Williams, Charlie Seaman, John Bostock, Dan Gardner, Cameron John and Fejiri Okenabirhie remain sidelined.
