Bristol Rovers are set to be without on-loan Newcastle United midfielder Elliot Anderson for at least one match later this month after the 19-year-old was called up to the Scotland Under-21 squad.
Anderson is in contention to play against Turkey at Tynecastle on March 25 and in Kazakhstan four days later, which rules him out of Rovers’ game against Carlisle United on March 26 at Brunton Park and potentially the home visit of Bradford City the following Saturday should there be any issues in returning from Almaty.
It’s the second time Anderson has earned a place in Scott Gemmill’s squad but is yet to make his debut at that level having previously been capped for the U16, U17 and U18 side.
