TEAM NEWS - GILLINGHAM

Captain Barry Fuller will miss the trip to Cumbria after breaking his arm in Tuesday night's draw with Leyton Orient. The full-back is now in plaster and is likely to be replaced by Chris Palmer, with Danny Jackman taking the captain's armband.

The Gills other absentee is centre-half Simon King who is set to see a specialist again this week. The reigning Player of the Year is hoping to get the nod to step up his training regime. 

CURRENT FORM:

Gillingham have enjoyed a decent spell of form in recent weeks and are unbeaten in their last three outings. Tuesday night's 1-1 draw with Leyton Orient moved the club down a place to 17th in League One, three places and three points behind their hosts on Saturday.

SQUAD FROM:

Alan Julian, Simon Royce, John Nutter, Josh Gowling, Tom Wynter, Garry Richards, Darren Dennehy, Kevin Maher, Jack Payne, Mark Bentley, Curtis Weston, Stuart Lewis, Danny Jackman, Adam Miller, Rashid Yussuff, Chris Palmer, Simeon Jackson, Chris Dickson, James Walker, Andy Barcham, Luke Rooney, Dennis Oli, Mark McCammon, Rene Howe.

Cumbrians Manager Greg Abbott will be without first choice keeper Lenny Pidgeley after the goalkeeper broke a bone in his hand in training last week.

Also sidelined are long-term absentees' defender David Raven (hip), midfielder Gavin Rothery (double hernia) and forward Andy Cook (foot)

Meanwhile on-loan striker Ben Marshall will be hoping to press for a place in the starting XI after netting a brace in the reserves 6-1 midweek defeat of Accrington Stanley.
