Paul Trollope is pleased with the way his injured players are recovering on their way back to fitness.

Steve Elliott and Danny Coles are both showing encouraging signs, although Craig Hinton and Steve Phillips have caused minor concern since the weekend.

"Steve Elliott is progressing well, but he's not training at the moment," Paul told bristolrovers.co.uk.

"There's a chance he could be ok for Saturday, but it's touch and go, and we'll have to see how well we progresses over the next 48 hours.

"Danny Coles is also progressing quite well, he's doing work on the bike and in the pool which is good, and he's coming along encouragingly.

"He's still a way off training again, but we're pleased with the way he's progressing.

"Elsewhere we've got a few bits of stiffness and knocks, and Craig Hinton and Steve Phillips didn't train today. But both should be ok for the rest of the week, and for Saturday's game."

Meanwhile Ryan Green and Joe Jacobson will feature in a friendly match at Exeter City's training ground tomorrow afternoon.
