Fresh Luke Molyneux and Billy Sharp updates ahead of Doncaster Rovers' game with Mansfield Town

Luke Molyneux is back fully fit and available for Doncaster Rovers' Good Friday meeting at home to Mansfield Town.

The wideman has missed the last two matches, against Barnsley and Port Vale, with a hamstring complaint picked up late in the draw at Bolton last month. But providing a fresh update ahead of the meeting with Nigel Clough's side – Rovers’ first game back after a ten-day break - manager Grant McCann said: "It's good to have Mols back. When he's on form he's probably - in my opinion - the best wide player in this division. It's nice to see him back out there.

"I'm pleased with how the boys are after a semi-rest because it's been good for everyone, not just players but staff as well. It's been relentless up to that point so it allowed everyone to get a breather, see family and come back refreshed for the run-in."

Whilst it's good news on Molyneux, veteran striker Billy Sharp (calf) remains out and could miss not just the Mansfield game but also the long trip down to Exeter on Easter Monday.

"Billy Sharp is probably the only one that will miss the game tomorrow but everyone else is fit," he added. "Hopefully it's sooner rather than later, that we can get him back.

"We'll see how he is for Exeter. It may be too soon for that (too) and the last thing he wants is to put himself in a dangerous position where he needs any surgery. At the minute it's a strain that he's had before. It's something him and Dave (Rennie, head of medical) are working on so it's a matter of seeing how it is day-by-day."

McCann added that Sean Grehan and Tom Nixon have both trained this week as they each continue to recover from hamstring injuries.
