Gillingham team news ahead of League 1 clash with Rochdale

Bradley Garmston and Ryan Jackson remain sidelined for the Gills.

Both full-backs have been missing since the replay against Brackley Town in the FA Cup on November 16.

Garmston limped off with a hamstring, while Jackson was also reported injured.

Boss Justin Edinburgh confirmed after the midweek defeat at Oxford that both would be missing for another week or two.

Frank Nouble and Chris Herd are back fit, though, with both players named on the bench at Oxford. Bradley Dack, meanwhile, completed his first 90 minutes since playing against Charlton a month ago.

Edinburgh said: “We are working him in and building up the minutes. He is getting back, in terms of fitness, where we want him to be and once that happens, performances will follow.”

Baily Cargill will get some much-needed rest after the weekend. He is expected to start again, making his fifth appearance after recovering from a hernia operation.

The Gills boss said: “He’s had two games in a week after being out for a while, so we will nurse him, get him through Saturday and then he will get a break.”

Edinburgh’s men are back on home turf on Saturday against Rochdale after three successive games on the road.
