LIVE: Fleetwood Town v Doncaster Rovers

Agard has pulled up with a hamstring problem and Rovers will be forced into an early change. Griffiths about to come on.

It’s worth pointing out that the pitch is not the greatest - very firm and not a huge amount of grass!

Lively start from Rovers.

Barlow’s cross deflected for a corner, which is then headed over by Williams.

We’re underway.

It’s 3-4-1-2 for Rovers. Rowe and Barlow as wing backs.

Jordy Hiwula’s last start was on Jan 8.

Aidan Barlow’s last start was on Jan 15.

Kieran Agard’s last start was on Jan 22.

They all start today.

Mipo Odubeko, John Bostock and Charlie Seaman are not in the 18.
