Jamal Blackman could make Bristol Rovers debut against Fleetwood

Bristol Rovers look set to hand goalkeeper Jamal Blackman a debut when they host Fleetwood on Saturday.

The 26-year-old has joined on loan from Chelsea until the end of the season following a long-term injury to first-choice keeper Anssi Jaakkola, who has dislocated his shoulder.

Abu Ogogo has rejoined training following a health issue and could make a comeback, whereas defender Josh Hare is some way off a return after suffering a knee ligament injury.

Manager Ben Garner will return to the dugout for the fixture, having taken a spell away from the club to deal with the ill-health of a family member.

Fleetwood manager Joey Barton has no new injury troubles ahead of the clash.

Nathan Sheron has departed the club to join League Two side Walsall on loan and therefore will not feature.

Eighteen-year-old Jay Matete joined the first-team ranks on Tuesday when signing his first professional contract and could be in the mix having featured during three Leasing.com Trophy matches this season.

Jordan Rossiter remains the only long-term absentee having been ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury.
