What’s the latest team news for Bristol Rovers?
A hamstring injury ruled Antony Evans out of Saturday’s match after being withdrawn against Oldham. The extent of the injury isn’t serious but he will possibly miss the next seven to ten days, so Rovers will have to do without their key talisman once more.
Leon Clarke, who was training once again, could be involved in the match day squad but that will be subject to what the medical team’s assessment of him is.
For fellow striker Ryan Loft, he’s looking more towards perhaps being involved against Stevenage, the same can be said for February signing Jon Nolan, who won’t be rushed in to making his debut.
Right-back Josh Grant should be made available though he had an injection last week because of Patellar tendinitis.

What’s the latest team news for Sutton United?
After injuring his ribs against Rovers in the reverse fixture, Kenny Davies made a goal scoring return in Saturday’s draw with Forest Green.
Craig Eastmond was absent in that match after suffering a groin injury last week but Ali Smith was available again after a two-game absence.
Isaac Olaofe is expected to miss out on this match due to injury whilst there will also be a decision to make on Rob Milsom, who missed out due to illness. Olaofe’s absence would be a welcome one for Rovers as he is their joint top scorer this season whilst Milsom has made four of their goals.
