Joey Barton gives update on Antony Evans' injury before Bristol Rovers' clash with Bradford City

Antony Evans and Nick Anderton are expected to miss Bristol Rovers' game against Bradford City on Saturday, according to Joey Barton.

The Gas manager believes neither have sufficiently recovered from minor injuries that ruled them out of the 1-0 defeat at Carlisle United last time out, but hopes they will be back in contention to play at Tranmere Rovers on April 9.

Evans' productivity was sorely missed at Brunton Park, where Rovers dominated possession but were unable to break through against a spirited Carlisle defence. The 23-year-old has eight goals and eight assists in League Two this season and Barton believed his absence was costly as Rovers' four-game winning run came to an end.
