The 30-year-old suffered a broken toe during pre-season and is expected to be out for a further month, so new signing Tom Pope will lead the line after scoring three times during the Millers' run of friendlies.
Robins has moved to bring in veteran Andy Liddell to help fill the void left by last season's leading scorer Reuben Reid, who has joined West Brom, but he is working on his fitness and may not figure despite playing for the reserves on Wednesday.
As well as Pope, all of Robins' other summer signings are available at the Don Valley Stadium on Saturday so winger Kevin Ellison, goalkeeper Jamie Annerson, and midfield duo Nicky Law and Paul Warne could all feature.
