The international break means that the 23-year-old Sheffield United star, who joined the club on loan until the end of the season just prior to Tuesday's transfer deadline, will have to wait another week before getting the chance to pull on a Doncaster shirt at Reading.
"I know it gives me a few days to settle in, but it would have been nice to have had a game this weekend," said Sharp.
"I've been missing playing and I'm eager to get back."
Sharp said that he learned of Rovers' interest a week or so before he signed.
But added:"I didn't think that it was going to happen in the end, but I'm glad it did."
Sharp says that he is desperate to get his career back on track after falling out of favour at Bramall Lane this year.
"It was frustrating towards the back end of last season when I didn't get any games when I came back from injury," he said.
"I worked hard and I thought that I could get back into the team for this season, but it wasn't to be.
"It was nice to play in the Carling Cup, and to get a goal was pleasing as well. But I wanted to play more than that.
"I felt that I needed a new challenge and I'm looking forward to getting it here.
"I've seen the team play a few times and they are a good footballing side. They get the ball down and pass it and they are full of energy and they create a lot of chances.,
"Hopefully their style of football will suit my game. That's why I came here.
"There are a lot of good players here and I'm looking forward to playing with them."
Commenting on his long-term plans, Sharp said: "I want to get playing football again on a regular basis and we'll see what happens from there."
Under the terms of the season-long loan deal, the Blades have the option of recalling Sharp, who cost them £2 million when signing him from Scunthorpe two years ago, during the January transfer window and selling him on.
Rovers boss Sean O'Driscoll denied reports that Reading had approached the club about skipper Brian Stock in the run-up to the transfer deadline, or that Leeds had sounded him out about striker Paul Heffernan.
