Whiteman sat out Rovers' win over Plymouth Argyle at the weekend as he served a one match suspension after collecting five yellow cards in the league.

But he has been immediately restored to the side in place of Jermaine Anderson, who drops to the bench. Alfie Beestin is the player to miss out in a largely unchanged matchday squad.
