Shrewsbury wait on Liam Lawrence

Shrewsbury are sweating on Liam Lawrence for the visit of Doncaster after the midfielder missed their 2-1 defeat at Scunthorpe with a virus.

Jermaine Grandison also sat out the defeat at Glanford Park after missing training at the end of last week with a minor back problem but could return for Micky Mellon's side.

Former Norwich and Derby man Zak Whitbread is expected to make his home debut after signing on a short-term deal until January following a trial spell.

Shrewsbury are 18th in Sky Bet League One having won just once in their last five games.

Darren Ferguson takes charge of Doncaster for the first time after he watched Saturday's home defeat to Bradford from the stands.

Ferguson says he has a blank canvas when it comes to picking his side, so it could come down to who impressed him in training as to who he picks in Shropshire.

James Coppinger and Andy Butler have both been passed fit after they hobbled off against the Bantams.

Rob Jones, who now steps back into the playing ranks after a seven-game caretaker spell, is not fit as he battles a hamstring injury.
