Defender's fitness battle

Doncaster say left-back Gareth Roberts is rated '50-50' to feature in Saturday's home clash against Ipswich.

The defender suffered a hamstring problem last weekend and has not been able to train so far this week, with Rovers giving him as long as possible to prove his fitness.

Physio John Dickens revealed: "Gareth picked up the injury in the Sheffield Wednesday game at the weekend and has been having daily treatment.

"I would say that Gareth is probably 50-50 at this stage, but we''ll have a better idea later today because we are going to get him doing some running."
