Doncaster Rovers boss Sean O'Driscoll is confident Neil Sullivan will not miss any matches despite dislocating a finger in the victory against Leyton Orient.

The veteran former Leeds United and Spurs shot-stopper picked up the injury in Sunday's 4-2 win against the O's but O'Driscoll has no doubts Sullivan will be playing against Swindon Town on Saturday.

The former Bournemouth boss told Rovers' official website: "Hurting your hand is an occupational hazard for goalkeepers.

"Neil dislocated his little finger. He put it back in himself, so that will be sore for a couple of days.

"At Neil's age - he's had dislocated fingers before. He'll just grit his teeth and get on with it. It's something that we need to be wary of, but it's something that happens.

"Players strap up their ankles and goalkeepers strap up their fingers. He can't do weights on his little finger - be he will be fine."
