Holden out for Millers

03 September 2010 10:30
Rotherham will be without defender Dean Holden for the table-topping clash with Shrewsbury. The right-back, who is on loan from the Shrews, extended his stay with the Millers for a second month earlier this week, but the terms of the deal prevent him from playing against his parent club. That means Johnny Mullins will make his first league start for the club after making his debut in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy win over Lincoln on Tuesday night. Doubts remain over the fitness of on-loan striker Tom Elliott, who has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury. Jeremiah Ani partnered Adam Le Fondre in attack on Tuesday in Elliott's absence and the Nigerian striker could again be given the nod by Ronnie Moore. Nick Fenton (groin) continues to struggle, while Dale Tonge, Ryan Taylor and Tom Pope (all metatarsal) are long-term absentees. Rotherham travel to the ProStar Stadium unbeaten and in third place in League One, and they come up against a Shrews side who are also unbeaten and sit above them on goal difference.
