Crystal Palace will be without Craig Beattie and have doubts over Ben Watson and John Oster ahead of the visit of Doncaster.Beattie, who hit five goals in 15 games during a successful loan spell at Selhurst Park, has been recalled by West Brom to leave a gap in the Palace attack.

Alan Lee came through a midweek reserve game to build up his fitness following a hamstring injury, but he is likely to start on the bench with Paul Ifill joining in-form Shefki Kuqi up front.

Midfielders Watson (groin) and Oster (calf) suffered injuries during Monday night's 3-0 win over Southampton and face late fitness checks.

James Scowcroft (hamstring) probably needs a reserve game while Lee Hills (knee), Carl Fletcher (back) and Neil Danns (ankle) are still sidelined.
