Rover’s midfielder James Coppinger is hoping to be fit to play against his former club Exeter in the FA Cup on Saturday.

Coppinger is struggling with a dead-leg and is eager to play against his previous employers where he spent 2 years playing. 

Coppinger said:

"It will be a massive blow if I miss the game.

"This is a match I really want to be involved in, although there is always a Cup upset somewhere and knowing my luck it will be at St James's Park.

"I've told my team-mates that Sean Devine and Les Atful are the ones to watch,"
