Paul Coutts will see a specialist this week to determine the severity of his ankle injury with Joey Barton claiming the Bristol Rovers captain could be out for anything between two weeks and two months.
Coutts was a surprise absentee from the Rovers starting XI against Plymouth Argyle on Saturday with the Scot having been among the most impressive performers for the Gas over the last couple of weeks.
The midfielder injured his left ankle in training during an 11v11 game at The Quarters on Thursday and after undergoing an MRI scan and x-ray was ruled out of Saturday’s game. Initial fears he had broken the ankle proved unfounded. However, a problem with his tendon has since been discovered.
