Rotherham United boss Mark Robins has confirmed that captain Graham Coughlan missed the 1-0 victory at Chester City due to an ankle problem.

The 33-year-old Irishman was keen to face the Blues, but Robins insisted that he rested a twisted ankle.

He told the Sheffield Star: "He is a lad who wants to play every game, but I had to persuade him that he wasn't playing. It was definitely the right decision.

"He turned his ankle in training and went straight in to get treatment. Graham always wants to perform, he hates missing out, but you've got to have a bit of responsibility.

"He said he'd be struggling although he would have played. It was an easy decision."
