Rotherham will have to replace Joe Mattock for the visit of Blackpool in League One.

The left-back, who overcame a knock to play against Peterborough on Sunday, was dismissed during the 4-0 victory and starts a three-match suspension.

Fellow defender Clark Robertson is also set to miss out after he suffered a groin injury in the first half of the weekend’s win.

His replacement Richard Wood opened the scoring but he will be checked on after making his first lengthy appearance in six weeks following a hamstring injury, while Billy Jones (hamstring) and Shaun MacDonald (calf) remain sidelined.

Blackpool boss Simon Grayson is unlikely to start new signing Grant Ward.

The former Ipswich midfielder signed for the Seasiders on an 18-month deal last week, despite reported interest from Rotherham, but he has not played first-team football since Boxing Day 2018 due to a knee injury.

Grayson will check on goalkeeper Jak Alnwick, who missed Sunday’s draw with Tranmere with a knock, with Mark Howard ready to stand in once again.

Sullay Kaikai could return to the starting line-up after being restricted to an appearance off the bench at the weekend following a knock, while Nathan Delfouneso is also pushing for a recall as the Seasiders look to end a four-match winless run.
