Fleetwood are without the suspended duo of Nathan Sheron and Harry Souttar at home to Bristol Rovers.

Midfielder Sheron starts a four-game ban after receiving his second red card of the season in their derby defeat at Blackpool on Easter Monday.

On-loan defender Souttar completes a three-match ban and teenager James Hill, son of the former Bristol City and Preston defender Matt, is set to deputise again.

James Wallace (knee), Craig Morgan (knock) and Dean Marney (calf) all miss out, but Jason Sowerby (hamstring) is in contention to start after coming off the bench at Blackpool.

Rovers hope to boosted by the return of Abu Ogogo as the Pirates seek the victory that will guarantee their Sky Bet League One status.

Midfielder Ogogo missed the home defeat to Rochdale on Easter Monday after suffering with migraines.

Rovers boss Graham Coughlan has no new injury worries and right-back Daniel Leadbitter, who has been sidelined since January, built up his fitness by playing for the development squad in midweek.

Veteran midfielder Chris Lines also figured in that game and hopes to make his 500th career appearance at Fleetwood.
