Rock-bottom Due to a debilitating injury list, Sean Morrison, Rotherham United’s crucial captain, will not be travelling to Coventry City this week. Due to a calf injury, the center-half was not available for Saturday’s devastating 1-0 home loss to fierce local relegation rivals Sheffield Wednesday. This was the Millers’ seventh straight Championship loss in a terrible 12-game losing streak.
The South Yorkshire team has only won three league games this season, and that one came in October when they defeated the Sky Blues 2-0 at New York Stadium. “We are currently having a lot of ‘fix and mend’ issues with players playing out of position,” Rotherham Advertiser manager Leam Richardson stated. We only have six outfield players on the bench, and we are limited in many other areas.
Morrison, the division’s bottom team’s defender, is unlikely to go to the CBS Arena on Tuesday. His absence is the latest blow in an injury-plagued season. Due to his unavailability, Tyler Blackett and Grant Hall are also out, leaving Cameron Humphreys as the sole available center-half. Lee Peltier and stand-in Seb Revan are also present in the treatment area.
Ollie Rathbone, a midfielder, was sidelined for the Owls game this past weekend due to his inability to clear all required medical clearances after suffering a concussion to his head two weeks prior at Ipswich Town from a collision with an advertising board.
The Millers are hoping that the midfield player will be cleared to play against Coventry, but they cannot guarantee that he will.
Richardson stated, “Ollie is still working with the medical staff on the concussion.” That has taken longer to finish than I anticipated.
The medical staff is in charge of us because it was such a serious situation. On the basis of it, you would never challenge anything with the medical staff.
