Joey Barton has confirmed that captain Paul Coutts has sustained an ankle injury and will miss Bristol Rovers’ League One encounter with Plymouth Argyle at the Mem.
Coutts was arguably Rovers’ man of the match in their 4-1 win at Cheltenham Town last Saturday and was named among the substitutes for the 3-0 EFL Trophy victory over Swindon but rolled his ankle in training.
Coutts was replaced by Harry Anderson in the Gas starting XI against Argyle with Barton making one other change as Luca Hoole returned at right-back in place of James Gibbons.
