Team news for Tuesday's League Two clash between Barnet host Bristol Rovers at Underhill Stadium (Kick-off 8pm).

Mark Byrne and Curtis Weston could make their first starts of the season when Barnet host Bristol Rovers.

The experienced midfielders both came off the bench as Barnet's League Two campaign got off to a disappointing start with a 3-0 defeat at Port Vale on Saturday.

Byrne has recovered from the groin strain which forced him to miss the 5-1 Capital One Cup defeat at Birmingham the previous week, while Weston is pushing to make his full debut following his recent move from Gillingham.

Defender Barry Fuller, another recruit from the Gills, could also be handed his debut.

Full-back Danny Senda and striker Steve Kabba are still building up their fitness following the knee injuries they suffered last season.

Defender Tom Parkes could go straight into Bristol Rovers' squad if his transfer from Leicester can be completed in time.

Parkes, who had a loan spell with the club last season, was close to sealing a permanent move to the Memorial Stadium on Monday subject to a medical.

Rovers suffered a 2-0 defeat to Oxford on the opening day and manager Mark McGhee may be tempted to make further changes.

Eliot Richards, Fabian Broghammer and Oliver Norburn all stepped off the bench and could be in contention for a starting place.

Defender Gary Kenneth returned to the bench last weekend following a hamstring strain and may return to the starting XI.

Jim Paterson or Adam Virgo are expected to make way for any potential changes at the back.
