Bristol Rovers first-team coach Paul Trollope will be forced into making at least one change to his squad for the FA Cup visit of Southampton.On-loan midfielder Anthony Pulis, son of Stoke manager Tony, is ineligible to play in the fifth-round clash having already featured in the competition for his parent club Stoke.

It should not affect Trollope's selection too much as the 23-year-old has started on the bench for the two games since joining the Pirates on a three-month deal.

Centre-half Steve Elliott and full-back Ryan Green remain the only absentees with respective medial knee ligament and Achilles injuries.

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

Kick-off at the Memorial Stadium is at 12.30pm on Saturday.
