Team news ahead of Saturday's final Championship clash of the season between Doncaster and Ipswich at the Keepmoat Stadium (kick-off 12.30pm).

Giles Barnes could return for a possible Doncaster swansong.

Barnes is one of several players out of contract this summer, but has resumed training following a back problem.

Habib Beye is another who may play his last game for Dean Saunders' relegated side having completed a three-match suspension. The former Newcastle and Aston Villa defender is contracted for a further year with Rovers, but his stay is subject to a release clause.

Shelton Martis will sit out the last game of an injury-plagued Championship campaign with a calf complaint, while the game comes too soon for midfielder Martin Woods (knee) and forward Habib Bamogo (hamstring).

Brian Stock (groin), Tommy Spurr (broken hand) and El-Hadji Diouf (hamstring) complete Doncaster's list of absentees.

Ipswich have a host of injury problems ahead of the trip.

Left-back Aaron Cresswell was forced off just after the hour mark in last weekend's disappointing 3-0 home defeat to Millwall having suffered a torn hamstring and will not be involved at the Keepmoat Stadium.

Youngster Luke Hyam missed the game altogether due to a thigh problem and continues to sit out, while fellow midfielder Lee Martin remains doubtful with the groin problem which kept him sidelined.

Ryan Stevenson was forced off at half-time and will be assessed as he struggles with an Achilles complaint.

Midfielder Jimmy Bullard continues to suffer with sinusitis and is again likely to be ruled out.
