Saunders with plenty of options

Doncaster are likely to have an unchanged squad for the trip to Carlisle.

Paul Quinn was left out against Portsmouth on Saturday due to injury and the right-back is set to remain sidelined while he undergoes further tests on the problem.

Rovers boss Dean Saunders has the likes of defender Shelton Martis, midfielders David Syers and Michael Woods, and forwards Chris Brown and Robbie Blake available should he wish to make any changes to his starting line-up.

Skipper Rob Jones made a telling return to the side in the 1-0 win at Portsmouth and showed no ill-effects after being knocked unconscious in his last game.

"I can't speak highly enough of him," said Saunders about the defender. "He's done brilliantly since he's been here and got us so many points on his own and he drives the rest of them on."

Meanwhile, results of a second scan on Jamie McCombe's back have revealed the hairline fracture of his spine has healed so he can step up his recovery.
