Team News: Richie Wellens returns in only Doncaster Rovers change

Wellens returns for Doncaster

Richie Wellens has overcome an injury to return to the Doncaster Rovers starting XI for their FA Cup third-round tie with Bristol City this afternoon.

The central midfielder is the only change made by Paul Dickov, as Rovers have reverted to the same team that started the 2-0 Boxing Day win over Coventry City.

Meanwhile, League One leaders Bristol City have made four changes for the clash at the Keepmoat Stadium.

Club captain Wade Elliott makes his first start in a fortnight as he replaces Luke Freeman, while wing-backs Mark Little and Joe Bryan are also recalled. Todd Kane is the final change, as he is preferred to Marlon Pack in midfield.

Doncaster: Johnstone, Wabara, Butler, McCullough, Stevens, Keegan, Furman, Wellens, Coppinger, Forrester, Robinson Subs: Marosi, McCombe, Main, Tyson, Wakefield, Bennett, Middleton

Bristol City: Fielding, Little, Bryan, Ayling, Flint, Williams, Kane, K. Smith, Elliott, M. Smith, Emmanuel-Thomas Subs: Richards, Wynter, Cunningham, Osborne, Wagstaff, Pack, Freeman
