Doncaster midfielder Jordan Houghton has returned to parent club Chelsea to be assessed after sustaining a knee injury at the weekend.

Houghton, 21, was forced out of Rovers' 1-1 home draw against Luton in the second half and is waiting to learn the full extent of the problem.

"He has been so important in terms of how we want to play," Doncaster boss Darren Ferguson told the Sky Bet League Two club's official website.

"He has been outstanding, has improved as the season has gone on, wants to learn and is a great lad on top of that.

"We're all disappointed for him as he has done so well for us. We spoke to him as a group on Tuesday and everyone wished him all the best."

Houghton joined Doncaster on a half-season loan in August and in January his stay was extended until the end of the season.
