Notts County vs Bristol Rovers - Rob Milsom a doubt for Notts County

Posted Friday, March 04, 2016 by PA

Rob Milsom is a fresh injury concern for Notts County as they prepare to host Bristol Rovers.

Milsom sustained an injury during the first half of Tuesday's goalless draw at home to Dagenham and had to be replaced by Liam Noble at half-time.

Magpies manager Jamie Fullarton, still without a win at Meadow Lane since taking charge in January, will give the former Rotherham midfielder as long as possible to prove his fitness. Noble is likely to start should he not make it.

Defender Scot Bennett is still working on his fitness but could be available again having sustained a knock in the 2-0 win at Luton over a month ago. Stanley Aborah is likely to be overlooked by Fullarton after he said this week that the midfielder wants to leave the club.

Rovers have lost Stuart Sinclair for the next six weeks of their promotion push.

The Pirates had hoped Sinclair would return for the midweek win over Hartlepool which lifted them back into the play-off places, but the midfielder has had to undergo surgery on a groin problem that has troubled him for the last few weeks.

Striker Rory Gaffney also looks set to miss the trip to Meadow Lane after suffering a hamstring injury against Pools.

Jermaine Easter and Ellis Harrison are on standby to replace Gaffney while Chris Lines will retain his place in midfield.
