What's the latest team news?

Alex Smithies is in line to return after being forced off early due to illness in Cardiff City's clash with Bristol City on Saturday.

The sight of the goalkeeper leaving the field after 10 minutes was worrying, however it is thought he will be in contention for the clash with Rotherham on Tuesday.

New signing Jonny Williams is a doubt for the game, having missed the win over the Robins after picking up a training-ground knock on the eve of the game.

"Typical Jonny," McCarthy said at Ashton gate on Saturday. "He gets clattered in training. It was a bang on the back of his knee. I don't think it'll be long.

"Maybe next week."

Jordi Osei-Tutu is still absent, with no return date yet pertaining to his hamstring injury. Lee Tomlin is still a couple of weeks away as he continues to recover from his groin surgery.

Isaac Vassell is still a long-term absentee.






Rotherham:
For the Millers, the main injury concern is Jamie Lindsay, who was hauled off in the win over Preston last weekend.

Lindsay was due for a scan on Monday ahead of the clash, so it is unlikely he will feature.
