ohn Fleck looks likely to miss the trip to Cardiff City on Tuesday night after suffering a calf injury against Preston North End on Saturday.
The Scot was in for a Rovers debut in place of Joe Rankin-Costello, who missed out on the clash due to a knee injury picked up at Birmingham City in midweek.
For Fleck, game number one in Rovers colours lasted just 16 minutes, with the 32-year-old dropping to the turf in the home box after a short corner kick routine and being replaced by Jake Garrett.
And John Eustace has his fingers crossed that Fleck’s calf injury isn’t as bad as first feared, although it looks doubtful that the experienced midfielder won’t be on the coach to Wales on Tuesday.
“We’ll assess that tomorrow,” Eustace said to RoversTV following the draw.
“I think he took quite a bad kick to the calf.
“John’s come in with huge experience and I’m a big admirer of his work from Sheffield United over the years.
“He’s a top, top player and I thought today’s game, a local derby, was one that he could get through with his adrenaline and experience.
“The way he started, that was very evident, so we’re disappointed for him.”
