Goalkeeper dilemma and a risky selection: The predicted Doncaster Rovers team to play Salford City

Having already lost midfielder Charlie Lakin for the rest of the season, uncertainty remains over whether Schofield’s first choice stopper Jonathan Mitchell will be available this weekend after he was also injured against AFC Wimbledon last time out.

Mitchell managed to see out the match after hurting his shoulder while saving a shot in the second half but had not trained all week as of Wednesday.

Rovers’ only other fit goalkeeper is 17-year-old first-team scholar Jake Oram, who has never played a professional game.

An eleventh-hour move into the emergency loan market therefore remains a possibility.

Elsewhere, Schofield must decide whether or not to risk captain Tom Anderson in what could be a pivotal game in his side’s season.

Doncaster can’t afford many more slip-ups if they are to make the League Two play-offs. Key man Anderson could be a difference-maker but continues to struggle for fitness.

Here’s our predicted XI for the crunch clash.
