Joey Barton gives injury update on Bristol Rovers duo Aaron Collins and Jordan Rossiter

Joey Barton has eased fears around the severity of Aaron Collins’ injury but admits Bristol Rovers’ top scorer is a doubt for Saturday’s League One encounter against Charlton Athletic after suffering bad bruising in a tackle that could well have broken the striker's leg.

Collins left the field in considerable pain after just 10 minutes of Rovers’ 4-1 win Papa Johns Trophy victory over MK Dons on Tuesday night and needed two physios to help him around the perimeter of the pitch and down the tunnel.

The Welshman was recklessly challenged from behind by MK Dons defender Zak Jules with an open goal in front of him and after miscuing his shot wide, as he fell onto the floor was further trampled on with the marks to show for it.
