Bristol Rovers goalkeeper Steve Phillips is expected to start when Oldham Athletic visit the Memorial Stadium on Tuesday evening.Phillips was still nursing a headache and a dead leg in training on Monday following a collision with a Doncaster player during the 2-0 defeat in south Yorkshire at the weekend.

Sammy Igoe has been suffering with toothache but the midfielder is also expected to be included in the squad.

Anthony Pulis, who joined Rovers on a three-month loan deal at the end of last week, could be in line for his home debut after making his first appearance for the club as a substitute at Doncaster.

Centre-half Steve Elliott (medial knee ligament) and full-back Ryan Green (Achilles) remain the only absentees.

Elliott could be out for at least another month but Green is making progress and is closing in on a return.
