Team News: Federico Macheda starts for Doncaster Rovers

Federico Macheda starts for Doncaster Rovers for today's visit of Leicester City at the Keepmoat Stadium in the Championship.

Doncaster Rovers boss Paul Dickov has included Federico Macheda in his starting lineup for the visit of Leicester City in the Championship this afternoon.

The Manchester United loanee was pictured moving gingerly in the aftermath of the club's 2-0 defeat to Burnley on Tuesday evening.

However, the 22-year-old, who has netted three times in four appearances since moving to the Keepmoat Stadium, has retained his place in the starting XI for the visit of Nigel Pearson's men.

Richie Wellens, who enjoyed a four-year stint with the Foxes, could face his former team for the first time since his move to Rovers in the summer, as the 33-year-old has been named on the bench.

Meanwhile, Pearson has named an unchanged team for the sixth successive Championship fixture for the trip to South Yorkshire, with in-form David Nugent continuing to lead the line.

Doncaster Rovers: Turnbull; Quinn, Jones, Khumalo, Wabara; Furman, Keegan, Duffy, Robinson; Brown, Macheda

Leicester City: Schmeichel; De Laet, Konchesky, Morgan, Moore; Drinkwater, King, Dyer, Knockaert; Vardy Nugent
