Gillingham v Fulham Under 21s
Vertu Trophy Group Stage
MEMS Priestfield Stadium
Tuesday September 2, 2025
Kick-Off, 7pm
Team News:
Gareth Ainsworth is expected to make changes to his side for the visit of Fulham Under 21s, admitting that he will not be taking any injury risks for the game. Seb Palmer-Houlden, Shad Ogie and Euan Williams could feature. It remains to be seen if our three deadline day additions are eligible.
Jonny Williams and Nelson Khumbeni are doubts, having missed the win at Oldham due to knocks they picked up in training.
Manager Comments:
Gareth Ainsworth - “We will see what we will do on Tuesday now. It will all be about the legs and making sure that we aren't risking anyone injury wise, and that we are competitive in the game.
“We will give it a go, and I am sure that Fulham will be doing their research on us, and if we keep playing the way that we do, then I am sure that we can turn anyone over. I'm looking forward to Tuesday.”
Previous Meetings:
Gills and Fulham Under 21s have met once before in the competition, with the two sides meeting in the group stages in November 2023. Aaron Loupalo-Bi scored the only goal of the game for the visitors on the stroke of half-time. Chris Donnell sent a low ball towards the six-yard box, which Loupalo-Bi got to first, prodding it past the oncoming Glenn Morris.
