Injuries are improving for Doncaster Rovers ahead of their matchup with Gillingham.
Three players who were injured could return for Doncaster Rovers’ match against league-leading Gillingham on Saturday.
Former ever-presents When asked about the other player who might be available, Rovers assistant Cliff Byrne stayed mum. Jack Senior and Ian Lawlor are both getting closer to returning to health.
According to Doncaster manager Grant McCann, Kyle Hurst, Richard Wood, and Jon Taylor are all under constant observation and not far from a recovery.
In the latest injury update, Byrne said: “There’s a couple that are getting close. Hopefully we may have one or two (back for Gillingham).
“We are pretty optimistic. But if not the group we had against Everton will be ready to come in, train again and go again on Saturday.”
Byrne confirmed Senior and Lawlor were “close” and added: “There might be one more that is close.
“We could have two, possibly three back for the weekend, which would be a real boost.”
Rovers came through last weekend’s win over Forest Green unscathed and Byrne was not aware of any fresh injury concerns following Tuesday’s win over Everton.
This weekend’s opponents have won six of their first eight matches in League Two this season.
But Doncaster head into the clash full of confidence following back-to-back wins for the first time since February.
Byrne said: “We will be setting out to to continue on from Forest Green and Everton and getting momentum in the right direction.
“Gillingham are top of the table and top of the table for a reason, so we will have to be at a high level of performance on Saturday.
