ROVERS are sweating on the fitness of Matt Derbyshire after the striker limped out of last night's England Under-21 win over the Republic of Ireland.
Derbyshire, who has three goals to his name this season, took a knock on the shin early in the second half and was eventually replaced after 66 minutes.
It leaves manager Mark Hughes with a striking problem with Roque Santa Cruz (knees) and Jason Roberts (thigh) already out of Saturday's Premier League game against Reading.
