Ex-Bull Ryan Green has suffered a broken jaw in a fight, press reports have confirmed.
The 27 year old Welshman was out in London on Saturday night and suffered the injury following a scuffle. Details are sketchy at present but Bristol Rovers boss Paul Trollope told the press:
"Ryan was involved in an incident on Saturday night and has come out of it with a broken jaw. He was the innocent party and we are making further investigations about it. He's going to be missing for two to three months, as Sean Rigg was last year with a broken jaw."
Green spent two years at Edgar Street, scoring the goal that took the Bulls back into the League but left soon after for the Pirates. Rovers now have a major defensive crisis, with two defenders suspended following Saturday's game at Swindon, as they look to pull themselves clear of the League One relegation zone.
