Bristol Rovers vs Peterborough United - Duo available again as Bristol Rovers look to extend unbeaten run

Posted Friday, October 28, 2016 by PA

Bristol Rovers boss Darrell Clarke has striker Ellis Harrison and midfielder Ollie Clarke available again after suspension as the Pirates look to extend their unbeaten run to six matches against Peterborough.

Harrison and Clarke both sat out last weekend's 2-0 win at Oldham, but will offer options to manager Clarke should he decide to shuffle his pack once again.

Harrison and Jermaine Easter - who was an unused substitute against Oldham after returning from his own ban - could challenge for starting berths up front if Clarke opts to omit either top scorer Matt Taylor or Rory Gaffney.

In defence, Jake Clarke-Salter is pushing for Peter Hartley's centre-back spot after the on-loan Chelsea youngster replaced the latter against Oldham before scoring his first goal for the club.

Shaquile Coulthirst and Michael Bostwick have outside chances of returning for Peterborough as Grant McCann's men look to draw level with Rovers on 23 points.

Striker Coulthirst (hamstring) and midfielder Bostwick (calf) missed last week's loss to AFC Wimbledon and it remains to be seen if either will be able to face Rovers.

Striker Lee Angol (foot) is back in training, but is more likely to return in the FA Cup tie with Chesham on November 5.

Brad Inman is another week behind Angol with a similar injury, while his fellow midfielder Jermaine Anderson out for the season with a knee injury.
