Bristol Rovers to check on Ellis Harrison

Bristol Rovers will check on striker Ellis Harrison ahead of their Sky Bet League One clash at home to Gillingham.

Harrison made a 6,000-mile round trip to Armenia in midweek, scoring in Wales Under-21s 3-1 European Championship qualifying win in Yerevan.

Loan signing Jake Clarke-Salter is fit after helping England Under-20s win a mini-tournament on home soil against Holland, Germany and the United States.

Jermaine Easter is absent as he serves the second game of a three-match ban but fellow striker Matty Taylor is in contention to start after coming off the bench in the last two games following a hamstring problem.

Gillingham striker Rory Donnelly will serve out a two-match suspension

Captain Josh Wright could retain his place in the side along with Australian defensive midfielder Chris Herd and forward Frank Nouble, who signed a short-term deal to start the home defeat against Oldham.

Midfielder Billy Knott will be assessed after being a late withdrawal from the bench last week and defender Ryan Jackson could be involved again following a hip problem.

Full-back Bradley Garmston (knee), defender Aaron Morris (knee) and midfielder Lee Martin (ankle) all continue their recoveries.
