Rovers lost Adam Armstrong and Dominic Samuel to injury during the 2-2 draw with Reading, while Bradley Dack and Kasey Palmer weren't involved at all.

Chelsea loanee Palmer should be fit for the weekend visit of Brentford, while Dack will train tomorrow, with a decision on his involvement against the Bees likely on Friday.

Armstrong picked up an ankle knock, which forced him off before the break, while Samuel, a second half substitute, came off with a knee injury.

Asked for an update, Rovers boss Tony Mowbray said: “Bradley has one of those injuries that you can be really cautious with.

“He could be out for a week or two or he could train tomorrow and go through a few passing drills, get it moving, and he tells me he feels fine and then do we test him?

“I think we’ll make that decision on Friday.

“But what I’m saying is that he isn’t that far away. He’s not got an injury that’s going to keep him out for six weeks, he’s not far.

“He’s an important footballer for us.

“I’m hopeful Kasey will be available for Saturday.

“Adam in the tunnel told me that he doesn’t think it’s too bad but he’s got a protective boot on and was hobbling. I would suggest he goes for a scan and see if it shows anything up.

“Dominic was his knee. That’s always a concern, particular when you see how gingerly he has to come off the pitch.

“It looked as if it could be a bad one but let’s wait and see and hope not.”

Rovers trailed 2-0 at the break, and Mowbray added: “It felt a little bit like everything was going against us.

“Everyone knows how important Bradley is to this team and how we play.

“Kasey was really brought in for the days that Bradley needed to be rested or wasn’t available. He’s a similar type of footballer so to lose them both was really disappointing.

“When Armstrong limps off you’re losing pace at the top end of the pitch and scoring on the transition.

“I thought Dominic was doing really well when he was on the pitch and was a physical threat and was showing his athleticism.

“For him to hobble off it was disappointing. We threw Joe on, he played 90 minutes on Monday for the Under-23s and great credit to him with his physicality that he was able to play an important part."
