Grant McCann, the Doncaster Rovers manager, admits he's still in the dark about the fate of the proposed trip to Lincoln City later this month.

Rovers are slated to visit Sincil Bank on Saturday, November 15. The hosts called off a game earlier this season after three of their players received international call-ups but recently the Imps' manager Michael Skubala indicated that their preference was for the Rovers clash to get the go-ahead.

After recently consulting with the EFL, the Free Press is of the understanding that home clubs, in this case Lincoln, have to submit a request to postpone a game five days before said fixture. That would mean they would need to submit the request to get the game against Rovers called off by 5pm this coming Sunday (November 9).

Amid plenty of uncertainty, McCann gave an update on Thursday lunchtime saying: "I don't know what's going on really. I think they (Lincoln) have five days notice before they need to let us know.

"I think they have three international call-ups - they had three in the last week. As far as I'm concerned right now, the game's on - unless we hear anything different over the weekend.

"At this moment in time we're preparing as if the game is on but we've got two games before then anyway so our real focus is on Barnsley, then Bradford and then the Lincoln game comes along.

"It's not really our decision."

Rovers have two players called up for international duty themselves, with Charlie Crew and Sean Grehan both leaving after Saturday's home game with Barnsley to represent Wales and the Republic of Ireland's under-21s respectively.
