Thomas Frank has explained why Pape Matar Sarr wasn't involved in the matchday squad as we toppled Doncaster Rovers 3-0 in the third round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night.

Goals from Joao Palhinha, an own goal from Wilson Odobert's fine assist and Brennan Johnson's third with the last kick of the game saw us home against the League One side to set up a fourth round clash against Newcastle United at St James' Park, week commencing 27 October.

However, midfielder Pape was one of a number of players to sit it out - although there was good news in that he could yet return to face Wolves in the Premier League back in N17 on Saturday (8pm UK).

Thomas was asked about Pape's absence against Rovers in his post-match press conference. "It was a minor precaution," he said. "A minor, how can you say... a little stretch to the thigh, so we didn’t want to take any risks today. There is a good chance that he could be ready for Saturday."
