Millers v Port Vale - Match Preview

Last updated : 20 April 2014 By Deano

With the Millers booked into the play-offs, Evans has been making full use of his squad as he looks to protect players, with Lee Frecklington missing the last three games due to glute injury but expected to be recalled.

Evans rested Ben Pringle for the amazing 6-4 defeat at Wolves on Good Friday and he should also get a recall, while the manager must also assess how much the see-saw nature of the Molineux game took out of his side.

Mark Bradley (knee) is the only confirmed absentee and his season is over following an operation.

Vale are seriously low on numbers ahead of the trip to South Yorkshire.

The Valiants were already battling a lengthy injury list for Good Friday's 1-0 win over MK Dons, where Micky Adams could only name five substitutes, before things got worse when striker Tom Pope limped off with a season-ending ankle injury.

Jordan Hugill replaced Pope and scored the winning goal so he should start at New York Stadium.

Chris Lines serves the final game of his four-match suspension, but Rob Taylor, Jennison Myrie-Williams, skipper Doug Loft, Joe Davis are all injured while Adams must also try to find a reserve goalkeeper.
