Gillingham's leading scorer Bradley Dack limped off injured in the game against Chesterfield

Gillingham face another anxious injury wait.

This time star man Bradley Dack is the player nursing an injury.

Gills’ 15-goal leading scorer limped out of the action on Saturday after pulling a hamstring during the match.

Dack has been one of League 1’s star players this season and his goals and assists have been crucial in Gillingham’s promotion chase.

It is the latest injury blow to rock Gillingham’s campaign.

Last week John Egan suffered a training ground knock that looks like keeping him out until the latter stages of the season.

Captain Doug Loft is also sidelined with an injury.

The Gills have also been missing striker Cody McDonald since the Christmas period, when he broke his foot in the game against Millwall.

Dack is likely to have a scan on his injury on Monday.

Boss Justin Edinburgh said: “It is too early to say how long he will be out for. I think we will have a scan on Monday to give us a clear indication of length of time.

“It is a real blow and unfortunately things aren’t going for us at the moment.”

There was better news regarding Ryan Jackson, who has just returned from a knee injury.

He pulled up after taking a shot late on but that was put down to cramp.

Edinburgh said: “He is a powerful player and full of explosiveness and he has been limited in his training, it was just a touch of cramp.

“The good thing for us is that he got through the 90 minutes with the knee injury and psychologically for him that is a massive boost.”
