Doncaster defender Shelton Martis could return to the squad for the home clash with Derby in the Championship on Saturday.

Martis has been sidelined since the middle of February with a hamstring injury and his return could be timely with on-loan Elliott Ward due to play his last game before returning to parent club Coventry.

Skipper Brian Stock is close to a return following a back injury, which manager Sean O'Driscoll first feared could rule him out for six weeks, but Saturday could come too soon for the Wales international.

Fellow midfielder Martin Woods appeared for the last seven minutes in the midweek draw at Preston though and could play a bigger role against Derby after three months out with a groin injury.

Adam Lockwood (foot) and Jason Shackell (groin) are still unavailable but the former is also close to a return to first-team action.
