He's back ... Chiedozie Ogbene fit again for Rotherham United
The flying winger tweaked his hamstring in the derby against Sheffield Wednesday on August 21 and had to leave the pitch with an injury that cost him a call-up from the Republic of Ireland.

“Chieo will be available,” confirmed manager Paul Warne after Tuesday night’s 6-0 away demolition of Doncaster Rovers in the EFL Trophy.
“He would have been available for today but there was just no need to play him really.”
Ogbene, who has started the season in superb form, worked out with the main group on Monday and then trained again at Roundwood on Tuesday while his teammates were concentrating on the Rovers clash.
