Crawley vs Bristol Rovers - Jon Ashton should be fit for Crawley's clash with Bristol Rovers

Crawley defender Jon Ashton will be fit for the visit of Bristol Rovers.

It was feared that Ashton would miss the League Two clash after he was substituted in the second half of his side's 2-2 draw with Exeter with an apparent fractured cheekbone.

But manager Mark Yates has said the 33-year-old did not undergo a scan for the injury and will be in line to feature against the Pirates.

Yates, whose side are 16th in the table with 22 points, said: "He had a whack to his cheekbone, but he's fine. He trained. He was going to have it checked out - have a scan - but he hasn't bothered."

Wales Under-21 pair Ellis Harrison and Tom Lockyer have returned to the Bristol Rovers squad after being away on international duty.

Striker Harrison and defender Lockyer both started the last Rovers game they were available for - the shock FA Cup home defeat to non-League Chesham a fortnight ago.

But Rovers ended nearly three months without a home league win last weekend and manager Darrell Clarke seems set to name the side which started the 2-0 victory over Carlisle.

Summer signing Cristiano Montano began his first league game since the opening day of the season against the Cumbrians and Clarke said the Colombian had done his chances of getting further starts no harm.
