Chesterfield are set to welcome back one player from injury for the Vertu Trophy tie against Doncaster Rovers.

Town make the short trip to South Yorkshire for the last 32 clash on Tuesday night. The teams will meet again days later when the Spireites host Rovers in the FA Cup second round on Saturday (7.30pm).

Paul Cook has already said the Blues will be prioritising the FA Cup game, with the line-up fielded at the Eco-Power Stadium set to be a ‘mix and match’ of players who are on the fringes of the squad and those returning from injury.

One of the players on the comeback trail is Luke Butterfield and it has been confirmed that he is expected to get some minutes under his belt. The young central midfielder, who signed in the summer on a free transfer from Everton after impressing on trial, has not played since August when he broke his foot against Mansfield Town in the Carabao Cup.

Meanwhile, first-team coach Gary Roberts said that Ryan Stirk and Will Grigg might be able to make the bench on either Tuesday or Saturday. Grigg has been nursing a groin injury, while Stirk has been sidelined with a quad problem.

The likes of Ryan Boot, Jamie Grimes, Adam Lewis, Bailey Hobson and Will Dickson could all feature for Chesterfield. The Spireites progressed from their group despite losing 7-1 at Crewe and drawing 2-2 against Liverpool’s youths and then losing on penalties. But they did beat Burton Albion 1-0. Doncaster, who are 18th in League One, won three out of three in a group with Bradford City, Grimsby Town and Everton under-21s.

Like Cook, Doncaster manager Grant McCann has also said that they will be making changes for Tuesday night. "We'll do what I've always done for the cup games," he told the Free Press. "We've got a big group here and a big squad and we don't need to be flogging anyone. So we'll make some changes on Tuesday. The other boys are chomping at the bit. They're out there training now on the pitch, so they'll be ready to go."
