Bristol Rovers defender could miss the rest of the season after second surgery

Bristol Rovers defender Alfie Kilgour could miss the rest of the season after his second knee surgery of the campaign.

Kilgour, who suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in 2016, went under the knife in November after limping off in the draw with Tranmere Rovers at the Mem. He would return to action against Hartlepool United in January, playing 90 minutes in the 2-0 win, but the 23-year-old suffered an adverse reaction to his knee in the following days.

Kilgour has not played since and manager Joey Barton confirmed ahead of Tuesday's trip to Crawley Town that Kilgour had undergone keyhole surgery after specialists had found the root cause of the issue.
