Bristol Rovers manager Joey Barton has confirmed midfielder Sam Finley could be out for up to two weeks, while left-back Trevor Clake is facing a two-month lay-off after a “bizarre” double injury at training.
Finley and Clarke weren’t included in the matchday 18 against Port Vale having both started against Bolton Wanderers in the previous League One fixture, after a tackle during a game at The Quarters which aggravated pre-existing problems.
Barton described the incident last week, which has left Finley with a calf problem while Clarke will undergo scans this week on his thigh and groin which the manager anticipates could be worse than a grade 2 tear.
