TEAM NEWS - GILLINGHAM

There is mixed news on the injury front for Andy Hessenthaler as captain Barry Fuller looks set for a 4-6 week lay-off after damaging medial knee ligaments in Saturday's friendly at Ebbsfleet. Striker Dennis Oli is also sidelined for a similar spell with a hamstring injury picked up in training.

On a more positive front, Garry Richards is set to return after recovering from an ankle injury, loan signing Cody McDonald has shaken off the knock picked up in training and could play a part, while fellow forward Mark McCammon (ankle) played 20 minutes in last night's defeat at Concord Rangers.

CURRENT FORM

Andy Hessenthaler's men have been in free-scoring form in recent pre-season outings spanking four past RUFC Calais, Peterborough United and Bishops Stortford. Luke Rooney leads the goalscoring stakes with six including a hat-trick in the 4-1 defeat of Bishops Stortford.

Chris Palmer is also enjoying some fine form in front of goal finding the net in each of his last four pre-season matches. Gillingham's first team lost both of their opening fixtures 2-1 at Braintree and Bromley but come into tomorrow night's game on the back of a five match unbeaten run.

TEAM NEWS - HEARTS

There is more encouraging news on Scotland international Lee Wallace after reports revealed a calf injury was less serious than first feared. Meanwhile young striker Jamie Mole and goalkeeper Mark Ridgers have moved on loan to Raith Rovers and Airdrie United respectively.

CURRENT FORM
