Gillingham's Bradley Dack is back from suspension in time to face his former side Charlton

Bradley Dack will be pushing for an immediate return to the Gillingham starting XI on Monday.

Dack has missed the last two matches through suspension after his sending off at MK Dons.

The Gills have picked up four points from the last two games and head coach Ady Pennock must now decide whether Dack gets an instant recall or sits on the bench.

“It’s a big decision to make,” said Pennock.

“He will be fresh and he is chomping at the bit.”

Dack was fined two weeks' wages as his second yellow card in the MK match came for dissent towards the referee. It was his second dismissal of the season.

Pennock said: “He was disappointed to be sent off, he apologised, but we have moved on.

“He has trained unbelievably well. He has been bright as a button and it is something we have to think about.”

The Gills boss is likely to have central defender Zesh Rehman back available. He missed Friday’s game against Bristol Rovers with a hamstring injury but could be fit enough for a quick return.

Pennock said: “He was close to starting (on Friday) but wasn’t 100%. Max, Deji and Jacko played really well (as the back three). They had good pace and power and they are athletic.

“Lee Martin and Harry Cornick put in a good shift (as wing backs). It is a tough role.”

Versatile Aussie Chris Herd is also available again after returning to the squad on Friday, as an unused substitute. He missed the previous five games with a knee injury.
