Doncaster manager Sean O'Driscoll is expected to include Shelton Martis in his starting line-up for the home game with Reading.The Dutch central defender, who spent a month on loan with Doncaster in late 2008, signed a three-and-a-half-year deal at the Keepmoat Stadium this week after Rovers agreed an undisclosed fee with West Brom.Martis will provide cover for injured central defenders Adam Lockwood, who is nursing his second metatarsal injury of the season, and Jason Shackell, who has had surgery on a groin problem.Striker Dean Shiels is expected to make the starting line-up alongside strike partner Billy Sharp, while young midfielder Jordon Mutch, on loan from Birmingham, is hoping to play a bigger role after two substitute appearances.Manager O'Driscoll has no new injury or suspension problems as his side look to bounce back from last week's defeat at Cardiff.
