New Southampton midfielder Guilherme do Prado could feature if he receives international clearance in time.
Defender Dan Seaborne (foot) remains a doubt whilst full-back Frazer Richardson (shoulder) is out.
Bristol Rovers manager Paul Trollope told BBC Radio Bristol: "Southampton have got one of, if not, the best squads in the division and we know the test that lies ahead of us but it's a challenge that we're going to relish.
"If we play with a competitive edge, if we pass the ball well and we get it with quality to our front two then we can hurt teams.
"The lads are in good spirits, we've been pretty pleased with four points from the last two games but looking to get back home and secure another win."
