SOUTHEND United midfielder Anthony Grant will miss tomorrow's clash with Bristol Rovers after picking up a hamstring problem.
Grant missed Tuesday night's 2-0 defeat at Leeds United through suspension and will again not figure this weekend.
Without Grant, Alan McCormack will start alongside Jean Francois-Christophe in the centre of the park.
New boy Dorian Dervite, who has signed on loan from Tottenham Hotspur, is also expected to go straight into the team.
