Team News | Cavegn, Quigley and Leigh all start for Rovers against Chesterfield

TEAM NEWS

Steve Evans has named his Bristol Rovers team to face Chesterfield at The Memorial Stadium in Sky Bet League Two.

The Manager makes 11 changes to the team that beat Reading on penalties in the Jersey Mike's Trophy on Tuesday night, picking the same team that triumphed over Cambridge United in the Emirates FA Cup First Round Proper last Friday.

Young returns in goal, with Tom James and Ben Purrington at full-back. Alfie Kilgour captains the team and is playing at centre-back next to Kofi Balmer to make up the rest of the defence.

Clinton Mola, Keenan Gough and Reiss Russell-Denny make up the heart of the midfild, with Tommy Leigh looking to be creative once again just in front. The final two spots are up front, with Joe Quigley and Fabrizio Cavegn playing as the two strikers.
