Accrington v Doncaster preview
Monday 1 October 2018 17:33, UK
Accrington boss John Coleman is expected to choose from an unchanged squad for the home game against Doncaster.
Coleman has reported no new injuries following his side's 1-0 success at Walsall on Saturday, which secured them back-to-back league wins. Seamus Conneely and Scott Brown resumed their partnership in central midfield at the weekend in place of Daniel Barlaser and Offrande Zanzala, who are both pushing for recalls.
Forward Luke Charman (thigh) remains doubtful, while defender Ben Richards-Everton and midfielder Piero Mingoia are in contention.
Doncaster boss Grant McCann is unlikely to make any changes as his side chase their fifth straight league win. McCann is still without midfield pair Tommy Rowe and Issam Ben Khemis, but otherwise has a fully-fit squad to choose from.
Rowe has missed the last four games due to a hamstring injury and Ben Khemis is struggling with a similar problem. Midfielder Ali Crawford stepped off the bench in Saturday's win at Plymouth after a long-term knee injury and is expected to feature again.
