The defender limped out of Rovers' loss to Sheffield Wednesday last weekend and scans have now revealed that he will not be fit to play until 2025.

The Blades travel to the North East on Saturday afternoon needing a win to avoid the possibility of being relegated from the Premier League this weekend.

NATHAN SALT AT OLD TRAFFORD: Manchester United made life hard for themselves but ultimately walked out with a 4-2 victory at Old Trafford from their clash with Sheffield United.
The first half was a tight one, and needed two moments of quality to find the net. First it was Josh Windass with a brilliant goal from range, then from Sammie Smodics to level things up. Wednesday have spent months in the bottom three, almost the entire season in fact, but after an excellent second half display that included a fine goal from Marvin Johnson and a bizarre one from Aynsley Pears they have managed to finally escape it. They’re up to 21st with two games to go - could they really...
The 25-year-old striker, who Wednesday were interested in signing a couple of seasons back, has been a big player for the Baggies in 2024/25, scoring 11 goals in the Championship as they look to secure a top six finish and reach the play-offs for a shot at returning to the Premier League. Thomas-Asante scored two in three prior to the game against Sunderland earlier this month, however in that game he was shown two quickfire yellow cards that resulted in his dismissal, and he was forced to sit...
