Blackburn's longest-serving player David Dunn is expected to return to the squad after training all week following a hamstring problem.
Goalkeeper Paul Robinson is also expected to keep his place but midfielder Dickson Etuhu, who has an ankle problem, remains absent.
Doncaster midfielder Richie Wellens signed a new contract this week and should feature.
And defender Bongani Khumalo and striker Billy Paynter are fit again.
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Doncaster won the earlier meeting this season 2-0 at the Keepmoat Stadium in August. It was only their second win in 19 league meetings and the first league meeting since 1958.
Doncaster have never won in 10 meetings at Blackburn in all competitions, drawing three and losing seven.

Blackburn have kept five clean sheets in their last ten games in all competitions, though none in their last three.
Blackburn have not won any of their last three games at home in all competitions.
Doncaster
Doncaster have lost six of their last seven games in all competitions, drawing one.
Doncaster have not won any of their last eight games in all competitions. Their last win was 2-1 at home against QPR in the Championship in late November.

@drfc_official: Rovers team to face Blackburn: Turnbull, Stevens, McCullough, Khumalo, Meite, De Val, Wellens, Husband, Forrester, Coppinger, Brown
Come on! Rate team that.
Id be livid if i were Duffy though
-
Pleased to see Marc De Val getting a start. Hopefully will allow Wellens to play further up the field.
-
Been under the cosh so far.
-
1-0 Blackburn right before half time f**k sake, sounds like we've hardly had a kick
-
Bxxxx 0-1
Once again just before the interval
-
Well second best by the sounds of it
-
We'll probably go for it second half so let's hope they don't get another as that could open the flood gates.
-
New pairing at the back, midfield and upfront so expectation was not good.
-
Sounding a lot better, dare I say it...
-
Beginning to wonder if there will be 22 players on the pitch at the end?
Double sub: Duffy/Peterson on for Forrester/Husband
Edit: Now Cotterill on for McCullough as well
-
Copps now playing RB? :blink:
-
We're OK lads. DJ Campbell has come in to chuck the match.
Football morals eh? In any other profession, he would be let nowhere near his workplace.
-
Let's hope!
Done well second half by the sound of it.
-
Thankfully Hudds have scored against Millwall
-
Not a good time to lose player
COYR
:scarf:
-
It's just not going for us is it, sounds like we had a right go in the second half, disappointed we lost naturally, but encouraged that we made a game of it and sounds like we had Blackburn hanging on at the end
-
Sounds like a much improved performance - and at least we only lost by one! Am I clutching at straws? :s
-
19 goals in 24 is piss poor, let's be honest.
I don't think we're really as attacking as we're made out to be, are we?
-
Yes

WTF has that got to do with todays game? Looks like we were competing and creating chances in the 2nd half...
-
Create all the chances you want but unless you're converting them to goals you may as well not bother. Now in the bottom three with the (equal) worst GD in the league. Shameful.

Because we failed to score yet again.

Just did not happen for Rovers today in the final third. Plenty of nice link-up play at times but very few chances created #drfc
