Bristol Rovers goalkeeper Jaakkola expected to miss FA Cup clash

Bristol Rovers look set to have a depleted squad for Sunday’s FA Cup third round tie at home to Coventry.

Leading the list of casualties is goalkeeper Anssi Jaakkola, who suffered a dislocated shoulder during a 3-0 league defeat against MK Dons on New Year’s Day.

Midfielder Abu Ogogo, meanwhile, was forced off at half-time during that game, and captain Ollie Clarke has missed the last three matches due to a hamstring problem.

Doubts also remain over the likes of Mark Little, Tyler Smith and Tareiq Holmes-Dennis as Rovers prepare to greet the Sky Blues.

Coventry boss Mark Robins is hopeful for a clean bill of health following his team’s impressive 4-1 win at Tranmere on Wednesday.

Michael Rose struggled with illness during that game as Coventry cruised to victory on the back of a Matt Godden hat-trick.

Rose’s symptoms came amid a bug that has affected the Coventry camp, with Jordan Shipley missing training last week.

But Robins will aim to select from strength as his team chase a place in the fourth round.
