Cotterill remains away from the club and in Bristol Royal Infirmary Hospital, recovery from Covid pneumonia as a long-term affect of the serious bout of the virus he suffered in January.

The visit of Fleetwood, which pits 17th against 16th in League One, is the 11th fixture Cotterill has missed since his period of ill health.

The black t-shirt reads 'Get well soon gaffer, from your #blueamberarmy', the same message that adorns the banner fundraised by supporters behind the home dugout at Montgomery Waters Meadow.
