On-loan striker Tom Eaves could make his debut when Bristol Rovers travel to Exeter.

Eaves has arrived on a three-month deal from Bolton to fill the void left by Matt Harrold, who is expected to miss the rest of the season with a knee injury.

Manager Mark McGhee has also swooped to sign free agent Derek Riordan and the striker could make his debut as Rovers look to amend their record of scoring just once in their last three outings.

The Pirates are expected to be without defender Michael Smith for compassionate reasons with McGhee insisting he would be given all the time he needs.

The game comes too soon for goalkeeper Scott Bevan (wrist) with McGhee admitting they were unsure when he would return.

Defender Danny Woodards is still a month away from action as he recovers from a broken leg.
