Doncaster Rovers v Palace

Keepmoat Stadium, Friday 3.00pm

James Vaughan

Team news

Hotshot James Vaughan should be fit to play after suffering an ankle injury during Palace's defeat to Scunthorpe at the weekend and broken bone in his hand after punching a dressing room wall.

Sean Scannell is suspended after his red card against the Iron, while midfielders Alex Marrow (ankle) and David Wright (calf) are both sidelined.

Doncaster defender Mustapha Dumbuya hopes to have recovered from a hamstring injury to play. Billy Sharp and Martin Woods are still out due to groin problems.

Quotes

Franck Moussa

"We’ve got four games left and we’ve got to make sure that we do the right things in all of them.

"The home game against Crystal Palace on Friday is going to be vital as is the next game at Barnsley (on Easter Monday). We need to get points - either a draw or a win. We just can’t afford to lose games.

"But if we are going into games trying to pick up points then we’ve got to make sure that we are solid defensively when going forward. We didn’t mix the two together well on Saturday.

"The gaffer knows what we are capable of and if he feels that it wasn’t good enough on Saturday then we’ve got to accept that and show him that we can live up to his standards.

"We have to be confident that we can bounce back against Crystal Palace. It is not going to help anyone if players are not confident that we can win the game or at least pick up a point."
