Team News: Theo Robinson makes Doncaster Rovers debut

Former Derby County striker Theo Robinson makes his Doncaster Rovers debut as they host Blackburn Rovers, who recall Tom Cairney and David Dunn.

New signing Theo Robinson will make his first appearance for Doncaster Rovers when they host Blackburn Rovers in the Championship at the Keepmoat Stadium tonight.

The striker arrived from Derby County on Thursday and goes straight into the Donny starting XI for their first match in 10 days - due the rearrangement of their fixture against Wigan Athletic last weekend.

Dean Furman is rested after travelling to South Africa for international duty in midweek and Harry Forrester is another midfield absentee. Mark Duffy is dropped to the bench as Paul Keegan comes into the team.

Blackburn make two changes to the side that suffered an injury-time defeat to Nottingham Forest last time out, with Tom Cairney replacing Alex Marrow in the middle of the park.

Leon Best misses out for the visitors as Gary Bower switches back to a 4-5-1 formation, with experienced playmaker David Dunn operating behind lone forward Jordan Rhodes.

Rhodes's Scottish compatriot Grant Hanley is fit after shaking off a head injury suffered in the friendly against England at Wembley on Wednesday.

Doncaster: Turnbull; Husband, Jones, Khumalo, Wabara; Keegan, Wellens, Coppinger, Cotterill; Brown, Robinson

Blackburn: Kean; Kane, Dann, Hanley, Spur; Taylor, Lowe, Cairney, Judge; Dunn; Rhodes
