Byron Anthony is expected to be fit for Bristol Rovers' final game of the season against Hartlepool.

The defender was forced off with a head injury after only 10 minutes of the defeat at Swindon last weekend after a clash with his own goalkeeper Steve Phillips.

Anthony resumed training in midweek and after suffering no ill-effects, the centre-half should start.

However, fellow defenders Joe Jacobson (toe), Ryan Green (heel) and Danny Coles (knee) will not feature again until next season.

Left-sided player Jeff Hughes is a slight doubt after hurting a knee in training and a late decision will be made on his fitness.

First-team coach Paul Trollope hinted that he could use the game to give some of the club's up and coming young players some valuable league experience.
