Rotherham United’s preparations for their pivotal match against Stevenage have been rocked by a major injury setback, as manager Steve Evans confirmed that a key player will be sidelined for the foreseeable future.
Speaking at a pre-match press conference, Evans revealed the devastating news, describing the injury as a “huge blow” to the team’s plans. Although he declined to name the player directly, sources suggest it involves a first-team regular who has been instrumental in Rotherham’s recent push for league stability.
“It’s heartbreaking for the lad and a real loss for us as a group,” Evans admitted. “He’s been a massive part of what we’re trying to achieve this season. To lose him at such a critical point hurts everyone.”
The injury is believed to have occurred during training earlier this week, and initial assessments suggest the player could miss several key fixtures, including the intense battle with Stevenage. The news comes at the worst possible time, with Rotherham seeking vital points to boost their position in the League One standings.
Evans, however, remains determined to rally his squad, insisting that the setback will not derail their momentum. “We have to stay focused. It’s an opportunity for others to step up and show what they’re made of. I’ve got full faith in this group.”
The manager also hinted at possible tactical adjustments to compensate for the absence, promising fans that the Millers will approach the Stevenage game with “all guns blazing.”
As Rotherham United looks to navigate this unexpected challenge, supporters will be hoping the team can show resilience and keep their season goals firmly on track despite the latest adversity.
