Jon Dahl Tomasson has eased concern about any injury to Andrew Moran whilst Dom Hyam will go for a scan on an ankle injury.
Hyam was substituted at half-time during the 2-1 win over Millwall after picking up a knock early in the game. The centre-back was not moving freely for most of the half but carried on until the interval.
He was then taken off for Scott Wharton at the break and will go for a scan on Wednesday to determine how serious the issue is.
Moran was taken off despite also coming on at half time after having treatment. However, Tomasson revealed that the decision was made so Rovers weren't short for Millwall's corner, as players now have to wait 30 seconds to avoid timewasting.

"Dom was injured, Andy was purely tactical because he was getting treatment and I didn't want to have one less on the corner," Tomasson said.
"That was the reason, just to take him out. I had someone else planned but it changed quickly, we didn't want to be short for the corner.
"Dom was not moving well with the knock. He said just before half time he needed to be subbed. Arnor was a tactical decision."
Wharton has not started a Championship match this season and has been limited to 100 minutes of league action. However, he came on and impressed in difficult circumstances at The Den.
He was part of a defence that blocked, tackled and repelled a barrage of pressure from the hosts as they searched for an equaliser. Tomasson was impressed with his efforts after coming on in a tough scenario.
"It's difficult when you haven't played that much in the league," Tomasson said. "We have kept Scott up to speed with internal games.
"Every player, if they get the opportunity, and he's been waiting for his opportunity, can grab it. I think Scott did well and that's why we give everyone the chance to grab it by being up to speed when they get the chance."
