Gore’s absence from the squad in the 2-1 defeat to Shrewsbury Town surprised Evans, who thought Gore was fit.

The Millers boss questioned how Gore could have sustained the injury, suggesting the intensity in training wasn’t sufficient for such a knock.
Speaking on Saturday, Evans said: "He worked for two days in the team and went home from training on Friday feeling good. I got a call from the medical staff to say that he'd woken up with his foot really sore.
"I'll pick up more of it tonight (Saturday) and tomorrow (Sunday). It's unbelievable.
“We didn't do enough in training for him to have a sore nose let alone a sore foot. He sat there afterwards having lunch with the boys and had a rub and got prepared."
