James Connolly, James Gibbons and Josh Coburn are all due to be available after injury in around a month's time, Bristol Rovers manager Joey Barton believes.
Summer signings Connolly and Gibbons have been sidelined by back and foot stress fractures respectively, while deadline day acquisition Coburn is yet to join up with his new teammates as he continues his rehabilitation for a knee injury at his parent club Middlesbrough's training base.
Versatile defender Gibbons has not played for a month after reporting the injury after Rovers' 4-0 win at Burton Albion on August 6, while centre-back Connolly has missed the past two games with his ailment and Boro striker Coburn suffered a knee injury on the opening day of the season.
