Joey Barton says Bristol Rovers' "prayers have been answered" after centre-back Lewis Gibson received a welcome injury boost.
The 22-year-old, on loan from Everton, has had an unfortunate run with injuries in recent seasons and there was cause for concern when he was substituted early in the second half of the New Year's Day win over Cheltenham Town.
Gibson had reported a thigh issue and scans were required to assess any potential damage, but the findings have been encouraging and he is back in training ahead of Saturday's League One trip to Cambridge United.
