Steve Tilson will be on Southend's bench for the first leg of the play-off semi-final against Doncaster on Friday following a two-match ban.

Tilson also has close to a full-strength squad to select from as the Shrimpers look to return to the Championship at the first time of asking.

Striker Lee Barnard is available after making a full recovery from a slight calf strain, while young winger Damian Scannell has returned to training following an infection in his groin.

But Tilson will be without a trio of long-term injury absentees - defenders Che Wilson (Achilles) and Lewis Hunt (hernia) as well as striker Richie Foran (knee) will all play no further part this season.

Rovers could be boosted by the return of long-term injury victims Mark Wilson (groin), Adam Lockwood (foot) and Steve Roberts (knee), while midfielder Paul Green is expected to shake off an ankle injury.
