Bristol Rovers vs Rochdale

Deadline-day signing Hiram Boateng is set for his Bristol Rovers debut at home to Rochdale.

The Crystal Palace midfielder joined on a loan deal that runs until January 2 and Chelsea youngster Charlie Colkett should also be named in the squad after making a season-long move.

But Jake Clarke-Salter, another Chelsea player who will spend the season in Sky Bet League One, might not be involved for a couple of weeks because of a pre-season knee problem.

Lee Mansell (calf) and Byron Moore (thigh) completed 60 minutes for the reserves in midweek on their respective returns from injury, but the Rochdale game is likely to come too soon for the pair.

Bottom side Rochdale have midfielders Callum Camps and Matthew Lund back available for league selection.

The pair featured in Dale's Checkatrade Trophy game earlier this week after missing last Saturday's defeat at Oxford, Camps through suspension and Lund due to being with the Northern Ireland squad.

Striker Calvin Andrew is a doubt because of the illness that has seen him miss the last two matches.

Midfielder Ollie Rathbone and forward Reuben Noble-Lazarus (ankle) remain not yet ready for action.
