Rotherham will hope to have Freddie Ladapo back for the visit of Crewe.

The club’s record signing missed last week’s win at Bolton with a foot injury but has returned to training this week.

Shane Ferguson has also trained after a foot issue of his own and could feature.

Winger Mickel Miller, who has now served a three-match ban, picked up a hamstring injury and is a doubt.

Crewe captain Luke Murphy could be in contention.

Murphy missed the midweek loss to Morecambe with a hamstring issue, but boss David Artell hopes he is fit.

Madger Gomes is available to make his debut after he came through an under-23s game in midweek following his deadline day arrival.

Crewe boss Artell returns to his hometown club, with whom he won promotion from this division in 2001.
