Captain Lee Frecklington is set to return for Rotherham's Sky Bet Championship clash with Bristol City on Saturday.

Frecklington has been ruled out since the opening day of the season with a calf injury and has also shrugged off a virus this week to come into contention.

New signing Dexter Blackstock may be given more time to settle after completing his move to the New York Stadium on Monday.

Boss Alan Stubbs is also hopeful Joe Newell and Tom Adeyemi will be declared fit as his injury problems begin to ease.

Bristol City expect top scorer Tammy Abraham to be fit after having treatment on an ankle problem during the international break.

The on-loan teenager has scored five goals since joining from Chelsea and was withdrawn from the England Under-20 squad after limping out of City's 3-1 victory over Aston Villa on August 27.

Sweden internationals Joel Ekstrand and Gustav Engvall will be included in the squad for the first time after completing transfers, but Robins boss Lee Johnson is expected to name an unchanged side.

Midfielder Korey Smith might make the bench after an ankle problem, but Adam Matthews (hamstring) remains out.
