Sam Finley is available again and in contention to start for Bristol Rovers in their Boxing Day fixture against Wycombe Wanderers, with Joey Barton also set to welcome striker Ryan Loft back into the fold.
Midfield lynchpin Finley, arguably Rovers’ most consistent and impressive individual this season, has missed the last three games due a calf injury but has trained at The Quarters this week and provided he comes through one last session on Christmas Eve morning, will be under consideration to make a swift return to the starting XI.
Loft could also be part of a League One squad for the first time since October 26 after overcoming muscle spasms which followed a period of illness and injury for the big striker. Versatile winger Harry Anderson, meanwhile, is back on the grass and has been given an outside chance for the game at Adams Park having not played since late October.
