Coventry have midfielder Carl Baker fully fit for the bottom-of-the-table clash after returning from injury.
On-loan Manchester City striker Alex Nimely is likely to miss out with a hamstring problem.
Relegated Doncaster are without full-back Habib Beye who is suspended while El-Hadji Diouf looks set to miss out for the season with a hamstring strain.
Shelton Martis (calf) and Giles Barnes (back) are both doubts and the game comes too soon for Martin Woods.
MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
• All 17 previous meetings have been league games, with Coventry winning six and Doncaster five. The last two were 1-1 draws.
• Doncaster's only away win over the Sky Blues was a 2-1 victory in November 1951.
• These clubs' meetings have all been at second-league level except the initial season in 1925-26, when they were together in Division Three North.
Coventry City
• Even a win will not be enough to secure a 12th consecutive season of second level league football for Coventry if Bristol City beat Barnsley.
• The Sky Blues, who have not played third-tier soccer for 48 years, have picked up just two points out of 12, and two wins from 11 games.
• They have gained 22 more points at home than on their Championship travels, which is the widest disparity in the division.
Doncaster Rovers
• Already certain of a return to League One after four seasons in the Championship, rock-bottom Doncaster held Middlesbrough to a goalless draw at the Riverside on Tuesday - their first clean sheet in 16 games.
• Rovers have 33 points. Peterborough went down with 34 two years ago, the lowest total any club has garnered in the Championship in the last six seasons.
• Dean Saunders' side are winless in 11 (four points out of 33). They have won the fewest matches in the division (seven), lost the most (25), own the poorest attack (39 goals netted) and the weakest defence (77 shipped).
tommorow could be the worst day in a long time going down tto the third tier of football or it could give us a chance of staying up we need hero's tommorow not just for cov but for barnsley.
