Team News: Tranmere Rovers captain James Wallace returns from suspension

Captain Wallace returns for Tranmere

Tranmere Rovers captain James Wallace has returned from a three-match suspension for tonight's League One game against Rotherham United.

The midfielder has not played since the New Year's Day draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers, but manager Ronnie Moore has guaranteed him a spot in the starting XI, meaning that Jason Koumas has to settle with a place on the bench.

Striker Jake Cassidy also starts against Moore's former club, despite sustaining a back injury in Saturday's win over Crewe Alexandra. Evan Horwood continues at left-back, as Liam Ridehalgh is not yet ready to return.

Meanwhile, Rotherham have named Lee Frecklington and Alex Revell in the starting XI.

Frecklington missed Saturday's clash with Crawley Town due to a slight hamstring strain, while Revell limped off with a calf problem. Wes Thomas is also lined up to start, while Richie Smallwood makes the bench.

Skipper Craig Morgan is out as the Millers aim to extend their unbeaten run in League One and consolidate their playoff position.

Tranmere Rovers: Fon Williams, Pennington, Taylor, Arthurworrey, Horwood, Kennedy, Wallace, Jennings, Kirby, Cassidy, Lowe Subs: Mooney, Holmes, Goodison, Koumas, Power, Robinson, Stockton

Rotherham United: Collin, Arnason, Davis, Frecklington, Revell, Bradley, Pringle, Agard, Thomas, Tavernier, Milsom Subs: Thompson, Skarz, O'Connor, Vuckic, Turgot, Hitchcock, Smallwood
