Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill set to return for Swindon against Bristol Rovers

Swindon could welcome Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill back for the visit of Bristol Rovers.

The wing-back was sent off for two yellow cards against Gillingham and missed last week's win over Port Vale through suspension, when James Brophy deputised.

Strikers Luke Norris and Nathan Delfouneso both started last time out but are still working on returning to full match sharpness.

Defender Raphael Branco (groin) has yet to feature this season, while forward Jonathan Obika (groin) has been sidelined since August 6.

Rovers are set to recall striker Matty Taylor after the Pirates' midweek EFL Cup defeat to Chelsea.

Taylor, the club's top scorer last season with 28 goals, was surprisingly omitted for the 3-2 defeat at Stamford Bridge but came on at half-time.

Jermaine Easter also pushed his case on Tuesday for a starting spot after coming off the bench for Rovers' impressive second-half show.

New loan signings Connor Roberts, a Wales Under-21 defender, and goalkeeper Kelle Roos could make the matchday squad after completing respective moves from Swansea and Derby.
