Robinson worry for Rovers

Theo Robinson is a fresh injury concern for Doncaster as they prepare for changes to the squad against Stevenage in the FA Cup.


Robinson was forced off with a knee injury late on in the league defeat to QPR and replaced by Chris Brown, who made his return to the Rovers squad after an ankle problem.


Fellow striker Federico Macheda has returned to Manchester United after his loan spell expired on New Year's Day while midfielder Richie Wellens' short-term contract with the club ran out after the game at Loftus Road. Manager Paul Dickov is confident Wellens will sign a new deal, although it remains to be seen if that will be before Saturday's third-round tie.


On-loan QPR defender Yun Suk-Young was ineligible against his parent club and will come back into the reckoning while Bongani Khumalo, on loan from Tottenham, should return from his injury absence.


Stevenage hope to welcome back Peter Hartley.


Hartley has missed the last four matches with a hamstring injury but is fit again and should return at left-back.


Manager Graham Westley, who has placed midfielder James Dunne on the transfer list, will be weighing up further changes after their last outing, the 4-1 defeat by Bristol City on Boxing Day.


Winger Filipe Morais could be recalled to the squad but striker Darius Charles is still on the sidelines as he continues to recover from ankle ligament damage.
