Rotherham United will spend the coming days deciding what part new signing Daniel Ayala can play in Saturday's bottom-of-the-table clash at Queens Park Rangers.
The former Middlesbrough and Hull City centre-back joined in time to face Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday and although he took his place on a fully-manned bench – a luxury the Millers have not often had this season – manager Matt Taylor admitted he was never likely to play much part. Ayala went unused despite Lee Peltier going off injured, Sean Morrison being in obvious discomfort towards the end of the 2-0 defeat, and a switch to a back three a quarter of the way through.
Liverpool product Ayala made 26 appearances for Blackburn Rovers last season but has not played since being released at the end of it.
