Gillingham captain Barry Fuller
will be sidelined for at least a month.
Fuller (pictured) visited a
specialist on Friday to assess the arm that he broke during
Gillingham’s 1-1 draw with Leyton Orient three days before.
The diagnosis has ruled out the
right-back for four to six weeks.
"It’s not good news," said manager
Mark Stimson. "After four weeks he may get a light cast on it but
that depends on how it is healing.
"He should possibly come back
before the end of the season."
Stimson saw on Saturday, in the 2-0
League 1 defeat at Carlisle, just how big a loss Fuller will
be.
"It’s a hard one to fill because I
don’t think people realise how good he has been this year," said
the Gills boss.
"It’s a massive loss but we can’t do anything about it and we
have to get on with it. We’ll see if people can step in and take on
that challenge and if they are half as good as him that would be
enough."
