Bristol Rovers manager Joey Barton has revealed striker Leon Clarke and centre-back Alfie Kilgour could be in contention to feature against Sutton United on Tuesday night, but January signings Jon Nolan and Ryan Loft will have to remain patient before they're brought into the matchday environment.
Veteran striker Clarke hasn't played since scoring the winner in the 3-2 victory over Scunthorpe United on January 25, which marked his recovery from a hamstring injury but after maintaining caution over the 37-year-old's condition, he could make the squad for the League Two clash.
The Gas started Aaron Collins through the middle against Mansfield Town on Saturday and had the mobile Harvey Saunders on the bench but with Ryan Loft continuing to be sidelined with a back problem, Clarke does represent a handy Plan B for the Rovers manager should be deemed fit enough to be involved.
