Injury update on Doncaster Rovers pair ahead of Yorkshire derby with Huddersfield Town

After beating the Terriers away from home last Tuesday in the EFL Trophy, Rovers will tonight attempt to do the same on home soil in League One (7.45pm).

Ahead of the game, Grant McCann has provided a brief update on injured loan duo Zander Clark and Frankie Okoronkwo. Hearts goalkeeper Clark (thigh) has been absent for the last three outings whilst Everton forward Okoronkwo (hamstring) has sat out four in a row.

"They're coming on quite well actually, but in terms of timescales I don't know," McCann said ahead of tonight's fixture against Liam Manning's side.

"Frankie was out on the pitches today (Monday) and came out and joined in with a little bit of the session today.

"Zander is still not out on the grass but we'll see how he goes the rest of this week. We're just playing it by ear, trying to get all the boxes ticked off so we can then get them back into full-time training."

On the game as a whole, which is expected to see both managers make wholesale changes from last week's Trophy contest, McCann added: "It's important we pick a team that's ready to go, that's fresh and is ready to put the plan in place we've set for them.

"They're a good team with experienced, clever players that can hurt you and they have a good manager. So it's another tough game but we're looking forward to it."
